We present a phenomenological approach (EPOS), based on the parton model, but going much beyond, and try to understand proton-proton and deuteron-gold collisions, in particular the transverse momentum results from all the four RHIC experiments. It turns out that elastic and inelastic parton ladder splitting is the key issue. Elastic splitting is in fact related to screening and saturation, but much more important is the inelastic contribution, being crucial to understand the data. We investigate in detail the rapidity dependence of nuclear effects, which is actually relatively weak in the model, in perfect agreement with the data, if the latter ones are interpreted correctly.

  1. Equilibrated fraction of QCD matter in high-energy oxygen--oxygen collisions

    nucl-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    The equilibrated core in O+O collisions overtakes the nonequilibrium corona above midrapidity multiplicity of about 20, yet corona contributions persist in central events, making pure hydrodynamics inadequate.

  2. Search for a resonance decaying into a scalar particle and a Higgs boson in the final state with two bottom quarks and two photons with 199 fb$^{-1}$ of data collected at $\sqrt{s}$=13 and 13.6 TeV with the ATLAS detector

    hep-ex 2025-10 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Search for resonant X -> S(bb) H(gamma gamma) production finds no significant excess and sets 95% CL limits on sigma*BR ranging from 9 fb to 0.06 fb over mass ranges 170-1000 GeV for X and 15-500 GeV for S.

  3. Search for charginos and neutralinos with $B-L$ $R$-parity violating decays in $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV and $13.6$ TeV $pp$ collisions with the ATLAS detector

    hep-ex 2026-05 accept novelty 4.0

    No evidence for charginos and neutralinos in R-parity violating Higgs-decay channels; masses 150-1100 GeV excluded at 95% CL assuming equal lepton branching fractions.

    No significant excess of high-mass lepton+jet events is observed in 164 fb^{-1} of 13.6 TeV pp collisions, setting 95% CL upper limits on quantum black hole production cross-section times branching ratio that reach a ...

    No significant excess observed in search for X → S(bb)H(γγ); 95% CL limits on σ×BR set from 9 fb to 0.06 fb over m_X 170-1000 GeV and m_S 15-500 GeV in 199 fb^{-1} of ATLAS data.

    hep-ex 2026-05 accept novelty 3.0

    ATLAS measures the fiducial cross-section for H to four leptons as 3.65 fb matching the SM prediction of 3.68 fb, with signal strength 0.99 and differential distributions all consistent with expectations.
