Production of identified and unidentified charged hadrons in Pb--Pb collisions at \sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}~5.02~TeV
In late 2015, the ALICE collaboration recorded data from Pb--Pb collisions at
the unprecedented energy of \sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}~5.02~TeV. The transverse-momentum
() spectra of pions, kaons and protons are presented. The evolution
of the particle ratios as a function of collision energy and centrality is
discussed. The ratio between -integrated particle yields are
measured and compared to different collision energies as well as smaller
collision systems. For the study of energy loss mechanisms in the QCD medium at
high transverse momenta, the nuclear modification factors () are
computed and compared with results obtained at lower energy
Search for a Low Energy Excess in MicroBooNE
MicroBooNE (the Micro Booster Neutrino Experiment) is a liquid argon
time-projection chamber (TPC) experiment designed for short-baseline neutrino
physics, currently running at Fermilab. It aims to address the anomalous excess
of low-energy events observed by the MiniBooNE experiment. Recent progress
towards the search for the low-energy events have brought to develop fully
automated event selection algorithm to identify charged-current electron
neutrino event candidates with no pions and at least one proton in the final
state () using the Pandora multi-algorithm
pattern recognition. Several cross checks and sidebands have been studied so
far to validate the analysis.Comment: Contribution to the 2019 EW/QCD/Gravitation session of the 54th

Measurement of the proton-proton total, elastic, inelastic and diffractive cross sections at 2, 7, 8 and 57 TeV
The measurement of the total cross section and its various
sub-components (elastic, inelastic and diffractive) is a very powerful tool to
understand the proton macro structure and fundamental QCD dynamics. In this
contribution I first provide a theoretical introduction to the topic, then a
summary of the experimental techniques and finally I review the new results
from AUGER and LHC experiments.Comment: 14 pages, 29 figure

Search for CP-Violation in KS -> 3pi0 decays with the NA48 detector
The decay KS -> 3pi0 is forbidden by CP conservation. Using a sample of more
than 6 million K -> 3pi0 decays, the NA48 Collaboration has improved the limit
on eta_{000} = A(KS -> 3pi0)/A(KS -> 3pi0) and on the branching ratio Br(KS ->
3pi0) by about one order of magnitude. Using this result and the
Bell-Steinberger relation, a new limit on the equality of the K0 and K0bar
masses is obtained improving by about 40% the test of CPT conservation in the
mixing of neutral kaons
