In this short paper, we demonstrate using irreducible tensorial techniques and in a model-independent way, why tensor interactions and also orbital-angular momentum-changing vector interactions are absent in the singlet unpolarized differential cross section for the reaction .

In this work, we review the experimental and theoretical developments of bottomonia production in proton+proton and heavy-ion collisions. The bottomonia production process is proving to be one of the most robust processes to investigate the fundamental aspects of Quantum Chromodynamics at both low and high temperatures. The LHC experiments in the last decade have produced large statistics of bottomonia states in wide kinematic ranges in various collision systems. The bottomonia have three S-states which are reconstructed in dilepton invariant mass channel with high mass resolution by LHC detectors and P-states are measured via their decay to S-states. We start with the details of measurements in proton+proton collisions and their understanding in terms of various effective theoretical models. Here we cover both the Tevatron and LHC measurements with spanning from 1.8 TeV to 13 TeV. The bottomonia states have particularly been very good probes to understand strongly interacting matter produced in heavy-ion collisions. The Pb+Pb collisions have been performed at = 2.76 TeV and 5.02 TeV at LHC. This led to the detailed study of the modification of bottomonia yields as a function of various observables and collision energy. At the same time, the improved results of bottomonia production became available from RHIC experiments which have proven to be useful for a quantitative comparison. A systematic study of bottomonia production in p+p, p+Pb and Pb+Pb has been very useful to understand the medium effects in these collision systems. We review some of the (if not all the) models of bottomonia evolution due to various processes in a large dynamically evolving medium and discuss these in comparison with the measurements.

In this paper, we present the results of the first beam tests of the detection system at the focal plane of the Dubna Gas-Filled Recoil Separator-2 (DGFRS-2), which receives beams from the DC-280 FLNR cyclotron. The high beam intensity of Ca heavy ions from the cyclotron enables us to obtain a number of superheavy recoils sufficient to compare both the measured and calculated spectra of superheavy recoils implanted into a silicon detector. A real-time algorithm to search for an Evaporation Residue (ER) -- correlated sequences is described in brief. It should be noted that the DGFRS-2 spectrometer operates in conjunction with the 48x128 strip DSSD (Double-sided Silicon Strip Detector; 48x226 mm2) detector and a low-pressure pentane-filled gaseous detector (1.2 Torr; 80x230 mm). A block-diagram of the spectrometer and the event format are also presented. Special attention is paid to the response of a low-pressure pentane-filled DeltaE multiwire proportional chamber for recoils of Fl, synthesized in the Pu+Ca Fl +3n complete fusion nuclear reaction. Some actual parameters of the detection system have also been extracted from Yb + Ca, Th + Ca, Am + Ca, U + Ca reactions. The effect of neighbor strip charge sharing for the ohmic side of the DSSD detector is also under consideration.

The single-particle inclusive fragmentation function and the particle multiplicity are observables of fundamental importance in studying properties of quantum chromodynamics at colliders. It is well-known that at high energies, the multiplicity distribution satisfies KNO scaling in which all moments are proportional to powers of the mean multiplicity. We prove that, under weak assumptions, the leading dependence of the fragmentation function on multiplicity is itself a kind of KNO scaling in which all moments are inversely proportional to powers of the mean multiplicity. This scaling with multiplicity additionally accounts for the dominant dependence on collision energy in the fragmentation function. The proof relies crucially on properties of the fragmentation function conditioned on the total multiplicity and application of the Stieltjes moment problem. In the process, we construct a novel basis of the fragmentation function expressed as an overall exponential suppression times a series of Laguerre polynomials. We study this scaling of the fragmentation function in experimental electron-position collision data and observe that residual scale violations are significantly reduced.
