Systematic Errors: facts and fictions
read the original abstract
The treatment of systematic errors is often mishandled. This is due to lack of understanding and education, based on a fundamental ambiguity as to what is meant by the term. This note addresses the problems and offers guidance to good practice.

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

Non-Monotonicity of Transverse Momentum Correlations in Au + Au Collisions at RHIC
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.

Measurement of the branching fractions of $\chi_{cJ} \to \pi^{+}\pi^{-}\pi^{0}\pi^{0}$ via $\psi(3686) \to \gamma\chi_{cJ}$
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.
