Measurements are presented of the reduction of signal output due to radiation damage for two types of plastic scintillator tiles used in the hadron endcap (HE) calorimeter of the CMS detector. The tiles were exposed to particles produced in proton-proton (pp) collisions at the CERN LHC with a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, corresponding to a deli

Bose-Einstein correlations of charged hadrons are measured over a broad multiplicity range, from a few particles up to about 250 reconstructed charged hadrons in protonproton collisions at √ s = 13 TeV. The results are based on data collected using the CMS detector at the LHC during runs with a special low-pileup configuration. Three analysis tec

The transverse momentum (pT) distributions of Lambda, Xi(-), and Omega(-) baryons, their antiparticles, and K-S(0) mesons are measured in proton-proton (pp) and proton-lead (pPb) collisions at a nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass energy of 5.02 TeV over a broad rapidity range. The data, corresponding to integrated luminosities of 40.2 nb(-1) and 15.6 m

This article discusses the theoretical foundations of the organizational climate. It is part of a field study conducted by the researcher in the private institutions of the Sultanate of Oman. The problem is that the organizations' lack of awareness of the importance of the prevailing organizational climate in them, and reviewing it from time to

Malaysian batik is a highly purchased handicraft in comparison to other handicraft products. There has been a scarcity of previous studies in addressing the factors affecting the purchasing decision over the traditional textile, which is batik. Hence, this study aims to analyse the factors that affect the purchasing decision over Malaysian batik pr

Palm oil has benefits for economic and social development in Indonesia. However, palm oil is faced by several environmental problems most of them due to the land conversion from forest to the palm plantation. Therefore, numerous greenhouse gas emissions and other environmental effects also emitted during palm oil and biodiesel production. The life

The researches on fuel alternative for the spark-ignition engine are currently conducted intensively, including the use of methanol-gasoline blend. One of the problems faced against the use of this fuel is the decreasing of engine performance. In this research, the use of the additive in a spark-ignition engine fueled with methanol-gasoline M15was

A combination of four searches for new physics involving signatures with at least one photon and large missing transverse momentum, motivated by generalized models of gauge-mediated supersymmetry (SUSY) breaking, is presented. All searches make use of proton-proton collision data at root s=13 TeV which were recorded with the CMS detector at the LHC

Proponents of circuit breakers justify the practice citing its utility in placating stressed markets, persuading agents to reflect on available information, and to trade rationally. Opponents counter by calling it an infringement on laissez-faire price discovery process citing the lack of conclusive evidence of their effectiveness in market crises.

Purpose – Despite regulatory claims of straitening volatility and preventing crashes, evidences on circuit breakers’ ability to achieve so are nonconclusive. While previous scholars studies general performances of circuit breakers, the authors examine whether Malaysian price limits aggravate volatility, impede price discovery, and interfere wit
