A measurement is presented of elliptic (v2) and triangular (v3) azimuthal anisotropy coefficients for charged particles produced in Pb+Pb collisions at sNN=5.02 TeV using a dataset corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 0.44nb−1 collected with the ATLAS detector at the LHC in 2018. The values of v2 and v3 are measured for charged particles over a wide range of transverse momentum (pT), 1–400 GeV, and Pb+Pb collision centrality, 0–60%, using the scalar-product and multiparticle cumulant methods.

Bent-core nematic liquid crystals exhibit unique properties, including giantflexoelectricity and polar electro-optic responses, making them ideal forenergy conversion and electro-optic applications. When confined innanopores, they can stabilize chiral nanostructures, enhance polar order, andenable defect-driven switching – offering potential in nanofluidics, sensing,and adaptive optics. [...]

The sensitivity of x-ray diffraction experiments towards Bragg peak parameters constitutes a crucial performance attribute of experimental setups. Frequently, diffraction peaks are characterized by model-free angular moment analysis, which offers a greater versatility compared to traditional model-based peak fitting. [...]
