abstract
We present the results of an improved Monte Carlo Glauber (MCG) model of relevance for collisions involving nuclei at center-of-mass energies of BNL RHIC ($\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}=0.2$ TeV), CERN LHC ($\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}=2.76$-$8.8$ TeV), and proposed future hadron colliders ($\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}\approx 10$-$63$ TeV). The inelastic pp cross sections as a function of $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}$ are obtained from a precise data-driven parametrization that exploits the many available measurements at LHC collision energies. We describe the nuclear transverse profile with two separated 2-parameter Fermi distributions for protons and neutrons to account for their different densities close to the nuclear periphery. Furthermore, we model the nucleon degrees of freedom inside the nucleus through a lattice with a minimum nodal separation, combined with a "recentering and reweighting" procedure, that overcomes some limitations of previous MCG approaches. The nuclear overlap function, number of participant nucleons and binary nucleon-nucleon collisions, participant eccentricity and triangularity, overlap area and average path length are presented in intervals of percentile centrality for lead-lead (PbPb) and proton-lead (pPb) collisions at all collision energies. We demonstrate for collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}=5.02$ TeV that the central values of the Glauber quantities change by up to 7%, in a few bins of reaction centrality, due to the improvements implemented, though typically remain within the previously assigned systematic uncertainties, while their associated uncertainties are generally smaller (mostly below 5%) at all centralities than for earlier calculations. Tables for all quantities versus centrality at present and foreseen collision energies involving Pb nuclei, as well as for collisions of XeXe at $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}=5.44$, and AuAu and CuCu at $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}=0.2$ TeV, are provided.

Muonic kaon atoms form in D0 decays with branching ratio 2.29×10^{-10} and via QGP coalescence, with projected yields at LHC and RHIC sufficient for first observation and secondary-vertex reconstruction.
A deep neural network interpolates and extrapolates proton-proton reference transverse-momentum spectra to unmeasured center-of-mass energies using ALICE LHC data.
New measurements of isolated, non-isolated, and inclusive J/ψ yields, nuclear modification factors, and fractions up to 60 GeV in pp and Pb+Pb collisions at 5.02 TeV.
Using a phenomenologically motivated spectrum shift model, the authors estimate partonic Δp_T loss and demonstrate its correlation with initial energy density ε_Bj across collision energies, then predict high-pT v2 that agrees with data.
Charm quark production from the pre-equilibrium phase contributes non-negligibly to the total yield in heavy-ion collisions and may allow inference of pre-equilibrium properties when combined with better initial-state calculations.
ALICE reports new rapidity-differential cross sections for coherent J/ψ and ψ(2S) photoproduction and exclusive dimuons in forward rapidity UPC Pb-Pb collisions at 5.36 TeV, showing nuclear shadowing ratios of approximately 0.76 and 0.71.
AMPT simulations predict power-law intermittency in normalized factorial moments for charged particles in 5.44 TeV Xe-Xe collisions, with the scaling exponent varying with transverse momentum bin width.
