We present a broad review on black holes. We analyse some of the fundamental concepts in black hole theory, the observational and theoretical status of stellar and galactic black holes, and their appearance

ALICE (A Large Ion Collider Experiment) is a detector designed to exploit the physics potential of nucleus–nucleus interactions at the LHC. Being a general purpose experiment, it will allow a comprehensive study of hadrons, electrons, muons and photons, produced in the collision of heavy nuclei, up to the highest particle multiplicities anticipated (dN ch /dy = 8000). In addition to heavy syste...

Cryptogenic localization-related epilepsy of neonatal onset

We report three patients with localization-related epilepsy of neonatal onset. They exhibited favourable psychomotor development and had no cerebral lesions on neuroimaging studies despite the presence of intractable partial seizures of neonatal onset. Although rare, some cases of epilepsy of neonatal onset may be cryptogenic, i.e. they belong to neither the symptomatic nor the idiopathic group.

The Production of Residual Nuclei in Peripheral High Energy Nucleus-nucleus Interactions

A formation zone intranuclear cascade model is applied to peripheral nucleus-nucleus collisions. We calculate the excitation energies of prefragments, treat their further nuclear disintegration and introduce a model for nuclear deexcitation by photon emission. Results are compared to data on target associated particle production in nucleus-nucleus collisions. We discuss implications of these mo...
