  1. Abstract The multiplicity dependence of jet production in pp collisions at the centre-of-mass energy of $$\sqrt{s} = 13\ {\mathrm {TeV}}$$ s = 13 TeV is studied for the first time. Jets are reconstructed from charged particles using the anti- $$k_\mathrm {T}$$ k T algorithm with resolution parameters R varying from 0.2 to 0.7. The jets are measured in the pseudorapidity range $$|\eta _{\mathrm{jet}}|< 0.9-R$$ | η jet | < 0.9 - R and in the transverse momentum range $$5

  2. Abstract We address a problem that extends a fundamental classical result of continuum mechanics from the time of its inception, as well as answers a fundamental question in the recent, modern nonlinear elastic theory of dislocations. Interestingly, the implication of our result in the latter case is qualitatively different from its well-established analog in the linear elastic theory of dislocations. It is a classical result that if $$u\in C^2({\mathbb {R}}^n;{\mathbb {R}}^n)$$ u ∈ C 2 ( R n ; R n ) and $$\nabla u \in SO(n)$$ ∇ u ∈ S O ( n ) , it follows that u is rigid. In this article this result is generalized to matrix fields with non-vanishing $${\text {curl }}$$ curl . It is shown that every matrix field $$R\in C^2(\varOmega ;SO(3))$$ R ∈ C 2 ( Ω ; S O ( 3 ) ) such that $${\text {curl }}R = constant$$ curl R = c o n s t a n t is necessarily constant. Moreover, it is proved in arbitrary dimensions that a measurable rotation field is as regular as its distributional $${\text {curl }}$$ curl allows. In particular, a measurable matrix field $$R: \varOmega \rightarrow SO(n)$$ R : Ω → S O ( n ) , whose $${\text {curl }}$$ curl in the sense of distributions is smooth, is also smooth.

  3. Abstract The total charm-quark production cross section per unit of rapidity$$\textrm{d}\sigma ({{\textrm{c}}\overline{\textrm{c}}})/\textrm{d}y$$ d σ ( c c ¯ ) / d y , and the fragmentation fractions of charm quarks to different charm-hadron species$$f(\textrm{c}\rightarrow {\textrm{h}}_{\textrm{c}})$$ f ( c h c ) , are measured for the first time in p–Pb collisions at$$\sqrt{s_\textrm{NN}} = 5.02~\text {Te}\hspace{-1.00006pt}\textrm{V} $$ s NN = 5.02 Te V at midrapidity ($$-0.96<0.04$$ - 0.96 < y < 0.04 in the centre-of-mass frame) using data collected by ALICE at the CERN LHC. The results are obtained based on all the available measurements of prompt production of ground-state charm-hadron species:$$\textrm{D}^{0}$$ D 0 ,$$\textrm{D}^{+}$$ D + ,$$\textrm{D}_\textrm{s}^{+}$$ D s + , and$$\mathrm {J/\psi }$$ J / ψ mesons, and$$\Lambda _\textrm{c}^{+}$$ Λ c + and$$\Xi _\textrm{c}^{0}$$ Ξ c 0 baryons. The resulting cross section is$$ \textrm{d}\sigma ({{\textrm{c}}\overline{\textrm{c}}})/\textrm{d}y =219.6 \pm 6.3\;(\mathrm {stat.}) {\;}_{-11.8}^{+10.5}\;(\mathrm {syst.}) {\;}_{-2.9}^{+8.3}\;(\mathrm {extr.})\pm 5.4\;(\textrm{BR})\pm 4.6\;(\mathrm {lumi.}) \pm 19.5\;(\text {rapidity shape})+15.0\;(\Omega _\textrm{c}^{0})\;\textrm{mb} $$ d σ ( c c ¯ ) / d y = 219.6 ± 6.3 ( stat . ) - 11.8 + 10.5 ( syst . ) - 2.9 + 8.3 ( extr . ) ± 5.4 ( BR ) ± 4.6 ( lumi . ) ± 19.5 ( rapidity shape ) + 15.0 ( Ω c 0 ) mb , which is consistent with a binary scaling of pQCD calculations from pp collisions. The measured fragmentation fractions are compatible with those measured in pp collisions at$$\sqrt{s} = 5.02$$ s = 5.02 and 13 TeV, showing an increase in the relative production rates of charm baryons with respect to charm mesons in pp and p–Pb collisions compared with$$\mathrm {e^{+}e^{-}}$$ e + e - and$$\mathrm {e^{-}p}$$ e - p collisions. The$$p_\textrm{T}$$ p T -integrated nuclear modification factor of charm quarks,$$R_\textrm{pPb}({\textrm{c}}\overline{\textrm{c}})= 0.91 \pm 0.04\;\mathrm{(stat.)} ^{+0.08}_{-0.09}\;\mathrm{(syst.)} ^{+0.05}_{-0.03}\;\mathrm{(extr.)} \pm 0.03\;\mathrm{(lumi.)}$$ R pPb ( c c ¯ ) = 0.91 ± 0.04 ( stat . ) - 0.09 + 0.08 ( syst . ) - 0.03 + 0.05 ( extr . ) ± 0.03 ( lumi . ) , is found to be consistent with unity and with theoretical predictions including nuclear modifications of the parton distribution functions.
