The treatment of systematic errors is often mishandled. This is due to lack of understanding and education, based on a fundamental ambiguity as to what is meant by the term. This note addresses the problems and offers guidance to good practice.

  1. Observation of Strong $\phi$-meson Directed Flow at High Baryon Density

    nucl-ex 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 8.0 of 10

    First observation of phi-meson directed flow v1 comparable in magnitude to protons and Lambdas but much larger than K0S, with baryon-like energy dependence at high baryon density.

  2. Observation of partonic flow in proton-proton and proton-nucleus collisions

    nucl-ex 2024-11 accept novelty 8.0 of 10

    Baryon and meson elliptic flow coefficients group and split at intermediate transverse momentum in pp and p-Pb collisions, signaling possible partonic flow in small systems.

  3. First Measurement of the Relative Phase between Proton Psionic Form Factors

    hep-ex 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    First measurement of sinΔΦ for proton psionic form factors, -0.20 ± 0.34 ± 0.11, extracted from proton polarization in J/ψ→p pbar at BESIII.

    nucl-ex 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    First LHC measurement of beam-axis Lambda polarization relative to the third-order event plane, with improved precision on the second-order plane and sensitivity to QGP transport coefficients.

  5. Evidence of nuclear geometry-driven anisotropic flow in OO and Ne$-$Ne collisions at $\mathbf{\sqrt{{\textit s}_{\rm\mathbf {NN}}}}$ = 5.36 TeV

    nucl-ex 2025-09 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    First measurements of elliptic and triangular flow in OO and Ne-Ne collisions show geometry-driven collectivity consistent with hydrodynamic predictions.

  6. Evidence for similar collectivity of high transverse momentum particles in pPb and PbPb collisions

    nucl-ex 2025-02 accept novelty 7.0 of 10

    Four-particle correlations reveal similar high-pT elliptic flow in pPb and PbPb collisions, suggesting a common origin for high-pT collectivity.

  7. The Well-Tempered Likelihood: Honest Confidence Intervals for Misspecified Models

    stat.ME 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Dividing the likelihood-ratio statistic by a goodness-of-fit statistic stops confidence intervals from collapsing under model misspecification, making them self-limit at a floor set by the model's inadequacy.

  8. Elliptic Flow of Multi-strange Hadrons in Au+Au Collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 7.7-19.6 GeV

    nucl-ex 2026-05 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    New precision v2 measurements show NCQ scaling holds for multi-strange hadrons down to 7.7 GeV, supporting partonic origin of elliptic flow with minimal late-stage distortion.

  9. Global polarization of $\Lambda$ and $\overline{\Lambda}$ hyperons in Pb-Pb collisions at the LHC

    nucl-ex 2019-09 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    Global polarization of Lambda and anti-Lambda hyperons in Pb-Pb collisions at 2.76 and 5.02 TeV is consistent with zero, with an average of about 0.01 percent plus or minus 0.06 percent statistical uncertainty.

  10. CP violation studies at Super Tau-Charm Facility

    hep-ex 2025-02 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    A future Super Tau-Charm Facility is projected to test CP violation in hyperon, tau, and charm decays at 1e-4 to 1e-3 sensitivities and improve the kaon CPT mass-difference limit tenfold.

  11. Dependence of two-particle azimuthal correlations on the forward rapidity gap width in pPb collisions at $\sqrt{s_\mathrm{NN}}$ = 8.16 TeV

    nucl-ex 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 3.0 of 10

    CMS measures V_nΔ in pPb events at √s_NN = 8.16 TeV as a function of forward rapidity gap width, p_T, and multiplicity in γPb and IP Pb enriched samples, comparing to prior pp, pPb, and γp data plus event generators.
