  1. Energy Correlators Within Jets in Transversely Polarized Proton-Proton Collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 200$ GeV

    hep-ex 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 8.0

    First measurement of energy correlators in jets from transversely polarized pp collisions at 200 GeV shows sizable spin asymmetries for pions that provide sensitivity to nucleon transversity with reduced fragmentation...

    nucl-ex 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    First measurements of pT correlations in Au+Au collisions at 3-7.7 GeV reveal non-monotonic energy dependence in central events with 5 sigma significance, breaking 1/sqrt(N_part) scaling.

    hep-ex 2026-04 accept novelty 2.0

    BESIII reports improved branching fractions for χ_c0, χ_c1, and χ_c2 to four pions of (3.10, 1.16, 1.92) × 10^{-2} respectively, with ρ⁺ρ⁻ as the dominant intermediate state.
