This talk presents a new measurement studying the relationship between the production of hard and soft particles through the correlation of Upsilon meson states with the inclusive-charged particle yields in 13 TeV pp collisions. Measurements are made differentially for Upsilon momentum and for different Upsilon states. The analysis is performed using the full-luminosity ATLAS Run-2 13 TeV pp...
Multiparton interactions in proton-proton collisions have long been a topic of great interest. A new look at them has begun to emerge from work being done to understand the dynamics of ‘small systems’, a topic that is taking center stage in the physics of relativistic heavy-ion interactions. Numerous studies conducted at the LHC and lower energies reveal that proton-proton collisions at high...
In 2019 the LHCb experiment discovered for the first time a clear signal of direct CP violation in the charm meson decays to $\pi^+\pi^-$ and $K^+K^-$, a result which is expected to be further refined in the upcoming decade. However, the theoretical SM determination of the strong part of those amplitudes remains incomplete up to date. In this work, we make use of dispersion relations to...
Heavy-flavor quarks (charm and beauty) are produced in early partonic processes of high-energy collisions, thus they provide a unique opportunity to probe the entire evolution of the strongly interacting system. Heavy-flavor production in proton-proton collisions serves as fundamental benchmark for QCD calculations and flavor-dependent fragmentation in the mesonic and baryonic sector....
