چکیده
The CELESTE atmospheric Cherenkov detector ran until June 2004. It has observed the blazars Mrk 421, 1ES 1426+428 and Mrk 501. We significantly improved our understanding of the atmosphere using a LIDAR, and of the optical through-put of the detector using stellar photometry. The new data analysis provides better background rejection. We present our light curve for Mrk 421 for the 2002-2004 season and a comparison with X-ray data and the 2004 observation of 1ES 1426+428. The new analysis will allow a more sensitive search for a signal from Mrk 501.

10 43 v 1 2 3 Ja n 20 07 Are High - p T Pions Suppressed in Pb + Pb Collisions at √ s NN = 17 . 3 GeV ?
Transverse momentum spectra of neutral pions in the range 0.7 < p T < 3.2 GeV/c have been measured at 2.3 η 3.0 by the WA98 experiment in p+C and p+Pb collisions at √ s NN = 17.3 GeV. Scaled by the number of nucleon-nucleon collisions (N coll) the π 0 yields in p+C and p+Pb at p T ≈ 2.0−2.5 GeV/c are higher than the respective yields in central Pb+Pb collisions with N part 300. This observation...

PHENIX has measured transverse momentum spectra of charged particles at mid-rapidity up to 10 GeV/c in Au+Au collisions at √ s nn = 200 GeV. For central collisions, the yield at high p T is significantly suppressed comparing to binary scaled p+p data, and this suppression is stronger than observed at 130 GeV [1,2]. Above 4 GeV/c, the deficit of high momentum particles is almost independent of p...
متن کاملSynoptic studies of seventeen blazars detected in very high-energy gamma-rays
Since 2002, the number of detected blazars at gamma-ray energies above 100 GeV has more than doubled. I study 17 blazars currently known to emit E > 100 GeV gamma rays. Their intrinsic energy spectra are reconstructed by removing extragalactic background light attenuation effects. Luminosity and spectral slope in the E > 100 GeV region are then compared and correlated among each other, with X-r...

The results on transverse mass spectra of Λ hyperons produced in all inelastic p+p and p+p interactions in the energy range √ sNN = 3.6 − 1800 GeV are compiled and analyzed. The energy dependence of the mean transverse mass and the inverse slope parameter of the spectra is presented and discussed. These results should be used as a reference in the study of Λ hyperon production in nuclear collis...

A model of a three Pomeron contribution to high energy elastic pp and p̄p scattering is proposed. The data are well described for all momenta (0.01 ≤ |t| ≤ 14. GeV ) and energies (8. ≤ √s ≤ 1800. GeV ) (χ/d.o.f. = 2.74). The model predicts the appearance of two dips in the differential cross-section which will be measured at LHC. The parameters of the Pomeron trajectories are: α(0)P1 = 1.058, α ...
