Powers That Be: An Adventure in Metaphysics
ABSTRACT This paper is an investigation into the increasingly popular trend amongst philosophers on the metaphysics of powers, exemplified by the statement: ‘To be real is to possess a power to affect (or to be affected by) other things’. First, I briefly trace the history of this idea (from the Eleatic dialectic of ancient times to present day quantum

Time reclustering for jet quenching studies
The physics program of ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider (RHIC) has brought a unique insight into the hot and dense QCD matter created in such collisions, the Quark-Gluon Plasma

Abstract Bouncing packets are quasi‐periodic microbursts separated by the electron bounce period. Solar Anomalous and Magnetospheric Particle Explorer observations revealed relativistic (>1 MeV) inner‐belt bouncing packets with “crown,” “decaying,” and “flat” envelopes.

Electron jets in toroidal self-generated magnetic fields of nonextensive laser-produced plasma
Under the framework of nonextensive distribution, the modulation instabilities of annular self-generated magnetic fields and electron jets formed during laser-plasma interactions under both relativistic and non-relativistic conditions have been ...

On the Deceleration and Spreading of Relativistic Jets. I. Jet Dynamics [PDF]
Abstract Jet breaks in gamma-ray burst (GRB) afterglows provide a direct probe of their collimation angle. Modeling a jet break requires an understanding of the jet spreading process, whereby the jet transitions from a collimated outflow into the spherical Sedov–Taylor solution at late times.

Abstract Microbursts are thought to be a key contributor to radiation belt electron loss, with chorus waves considered a primary driver of this precipitation. However, the conditions under which chorus waves produce MeV electron loss remain poorly constrained.

Synchrotron Radiation Maps from Relativistic MHD Jet Simulations
Relativistic jets from active galactic nuclei (AGN) often display a non-uniform structure and are, under certain conditions, susceptible to a number of instabilities.

Evolution of Reversed Electron Energy Spectra in Earth’s Radiation Belts Observed by CIRBE
Abstract Following an intense geomagnetic storm (Dst < −150 nT) on 5 November 2023, electron fluxes in the outer radiation belt were reduced by more than three orders of magnitude at energies below ∼700 keV while they were enhanced at ∼1–3 MeV, leading to reversed energy spectra.

A Measurement of W+jets Z+jets with the ATLAS Detector [PDF]
PhDA study is presented on the production of vector boson (W and Z0) events in association with recoiling hadronic activity in the form of hadronic jets, using proton-proton collisions at the LHC.

Substorm Effects on Chorus Emissions Modulated by ULF Waves
Abstract Although cross‐scale wave‐particle interactions play a critical role in energy transfer in the magnetosphere, the influence of geomagnetic activity on the physical mechanisms involved remains unclear. In this study, we investigate this question by analyzing Van Allen Probes‐A observations of an event occurring on 25 July 2016.
