Recent Highlights from the PHENIX Collaboration

Recent Results from Phenix

sNN = 130 GeV . In order to study initial conditions, PHENIX has measured the ratio between anti-protons and protons, the transverse energy, and charged multiplicity as a function of collision centrality. These measurements allows us to extract some information on the initial density of created partons, the baryon density, the energy density, and particle production. In order to probe the forma...

High-p T Direct-photon Results from Phenix * Klaus Reygers for the Phenix Collaboration

Direct-photon measurements in p+p and Au+Au collisions at √ s NN = 200 GeV from the PHENIX experiment are presented. The p+p results are found to be in good agreement with next-to-leading-order (NLO) pertur-bative QCD calculations. Direct-photon yields in Au+Au collisions scale with the number of inelastic nucleon-nucleon collisions and don't exhibit the strong suppression observed for charged ...

Highlights from Recent Cancer Literature

Recent highlights from BESIII: XYZ states

In this contribution we review recent results from the BESIII experiment. We focus on the investigation of XYZ states and the discovery of new charged charmonium like structures. Two isospin triplets Z(3900) and Z(4020) have been discovered, decaying into π±J/ψ and π±hc, respectively. Structures with compatible parameters have been found decaying to DD̄∗ and D∗D̄∗, respectively, suggesting that t...

Breaking Advances Highlights from Recent Cancer Literature

Polycomb proteins represent epigenetic regulators and exert transcriptional repression via polycomb repressive complexes (PRC). EZH2 is a component of PRC2, where it functions as a lysine methyl transferase, particularly for histones. In cancer, EZH2 is found to be overexpressed, and in glioblastoma multiforme, EZH2 has been shown to be important for maintenance of glioma stem cells (GSC). Alth...
