Previous detections of individual astrophysical sources of neutrinos are limited to the Sun and the supernova 1987A, whereas the origins of the diffuse flux of high-energy cosmic neutrinos remain unidentified. On 22 September 2017, we detected a high-energy neutrino, IceCube-170922A, with an energy of ~290 tera-electron volts. Its arrival direction

The interaction of plasma with magnetic field in the partially ionised solar atmosphere is frequently modelled via a single-fluid approximation, which is valid for the case of a strongly coupled collisional media, such as solar photosphere and low chromosphere. Under the single-fluid formalism the main non-ideal effects are described by a series of

ESPRESSO is a fiber feed ultrastable High Resolution Spectrograph designed to work in the Combined-Coudé focus of Very Large Telescopes (VLT). A high resolution (R 100000) and an ultra-high resolution (R 220000) mode will be available to collect the light coming of one VLT telescope. In addition, ESPRESSO has an observing mode which allows to

MEGARA is the new generation IFU and MOS optical spectrograph built for the 10.4m Gran Telescopio CANARIAS (GTC). The project was developed by a consortium led by UCM (Spain) that also includes INAOE (Mexico), IAA-CSIC (Spain) and UPM (Spain). The instrument arrived to GTC on March 28th 2017 and was successfully integrated and commissioned at the

This paper presents a measurement of the underlying event activity in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, performed using inclusive Z boson production events collected with the CMS experiment at the LHC. The analyzed data correspond to an integrated luminosity of 2.1 fb-1. The underlying event activity is quantified in

A measurement of the inelastic proton-proton cross section with the CMS detector at a center-of-mass energy of √{s}=13 TeV is presented. The analysis is based on events with energy deposits in the forward calorimeters, which cover pseudorapidities of -6 .6 13 GeV, where M X and M Y are the masses of the diffractive dissociation systems at negative
