CASTOR: Centauro and Strange Object Research in nucleus-nucleus collisions at LHC [PDF]

, 2002
We describe the CASTOR detector designed to probe the very forward, baryon-rich rapidity region in nucleus-nucleus collisions at the LHC. We present a phenomenological model describing the formation of a QGP fireball in a high baryochemical potential ...

Alignment in Gamma-Hadron Families of Cosmic Rays

, 1994
Alignment of main fluxes of energy in a target plane is found in families of cosmic ray particles detected in deep lead X-ray chambers. The fraction of events with alignment is unexpectedly large for families with high energy and large number of hadrons.

A New Surface Rupture of the 1556 Huaxian M ∼ 8.5 Earthquake Revealed by Rock Surface Luminescence Dating of a Bedrock Fault Scarp and Colluvial Wedges

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.
Abstract Bedrock fault scarps and their associated colluvial wedges provide key evidence for reconstructing paleoearthquakes. We apply rock surface luminescence dating to a bedrock scarp on the Huashan fault in central China, using OSL‐depth profiles (DPs) from multiple heights. Results reveal two coseismic displacements of 6.8 and >1.0 m.

Diversity of the Mountain Flora of Central Asia with Emphasis on Alkaloid-Producing Plants

Diversity, 2017
The mountains of Central Asia with 70 large and small mountain ranges represent species-rich plant biodiversity hotspots. Major mountains include Saur, Tarbagatai, Dzungarian Alatau, Tien Shan, Pamir-Alai and Kopet Dag.

From shadows to data: first robust population assessment of snow leopards in Pakistan

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 2, February 2026.
The snow leopard Panthera uncia is a flagship species of the greater Himalayan region and symbolizes the integrity of this ecological system. Within the greater Himalayas, Pakistan holds special significance as the north of the country represents a confluence of three major mountain ranges (Hindu Kush, Pamir–Karakoram, and Himalaya).

Triassic High-Mg Diorites and Granitoids in the NE Pamir Reveal Tectonic Evolution of the Paleo-Tethys Ocean [PDF]

Lithosphere
The Western Kunlun-Pamir Orogen (WKPO) in the northwestern Tibetan Plateau holds crucial information on the Tethyan evolution. Until now, the subduction polarity and the assemblage processes of the Northern, Central, and Southern Pamir during the Paleo ...

Differential Mountain‐Building in the South Tian Shan Revealed by Multi‐Spatiotemporal Foreland Deformation

Tectonics, Volume 45, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Understanding how spatially variable mountain‐building processes proceed within large intracontinental orogens provides critical insights into continental tectonics and regional paleoenvironmental evolution. Here, we address this issue in the central South Tian Shan (cSTS), a key transitional segment between the well‐studied eastern and ...

Upper crust anisotropy of the 2020 Jiashi MS 6.4 earthquake

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2023
The 2020 Jiashi MS 6.4 earthquake occurred north of the 1997–1998 Jiashi earthquake swarm. Because of its complex tectonic environment and frequent strong earthquake occurrence, scholars have paid extensive attention to this area.

Little Geodetic Evidence for Localized Indian Subduction in the Pamir‐Hindu Kush of Central Asia [PDF]

Geophysical Research Letters, 2019
AbstractGeodetically derived velocities from Central Asia show that Northern Afghanistan, the Tajik Pamir, and northwestern Pakistan all move northward with comparable large velocities toward Eurasia. Steep velocity gradients, hence high strain rates, occur only across the Main Pamir Fault zone and with lesser magnitude between the northernmost Hindu ...
