Hunting for charm with lead and SHINE
Hunting for charm with lead and SHINE SHINE (SPS Heavy Ion and Neutrino Experiment) [1] is a multi-purpose experiment studying hadron production in hadron-proton, hadron-nucleus and nucleus-nucleus collisions. The programme on strong interactions includes studying the properties of the onset of deconfinement [2] and searching for the critical point of strongly interacting matter [3]. Additionally,

Nuclear Physics Meets Neutrinos
Nuclear Physics Meets Neutrinos Neutrino beams, such as those currently operating at Fermilab in the USA and J-PARC in Japan, are typically produced by colliding high-energy proton beams with long, thin solid targets. These collisions result in a spray of particles including short-lived hadrons such as pions or kaons. The hadrons are focused using magnetic
