    A multi-differential investigation of strangeness production in pp collisions with ALICE

    No full text
    International audienceIn these proceedings, two multi-differential analyses performed in pp collisions collected by the ALICE collaboration during the LHC Run 2 are presented. One investigates the dependence of strange particle production with multiplicity and effective energy, whereas the other clarifies how strangeness enhancement is correlated to the leading jet in the event. The results suggest that strangeness production at the LHC depends strongly on effective energy, and originates dominantly from the transverse region with respect to the leading jet direction

    Counterrotation of magnetic beads in spinning fields

    International audienceA magnetic stirrer, an omnipresent device in the laboratory, generates a spinning magnetic dipolelike field that drives in a contactless manner the rotation of a ferromagnetic bead on top of it. We investigate here the surprisingly complex dynamics displayed by the spinning magnetic bead emerging from its dissipatively driven, coupled translation and rotation. A particularly stunning and counterintuitive phenomenon is the sudden inversion of the bead's rotational direction, from corotation to counterrotation, acting seemingly against the driving field, when the stirrer's frequency surpasses a critical value. The bead counterrotation effect, experimentally described by Chau et al. [J. Magn. Magn. Mater. 476, 376 (2019)JMMMDC0304-885310.1016/j.jmmm.2018.12.073], is here comprehensively studied, with numerical simulations and a theoretical approach complementing experimental observations
