Inclusive photoproduction of vector quarkonium in ultra-peripheral collisions at the LHC by Jean-Philippe Lansberg, Kate Lynch, Charlotte Van Hulse, Ronan McNulty

“…We also model the hadroproduction background and demonstrate that inclusive photoproduction can be isolated at the LHC from such background by imposing constraints on the hadronic activity in the lead-going direction at mid, forward, or far-forward rapidities depending on the capability of the detector under consideration. We find that the resulting cross sections are large enough to be measured by ALICE, ATLAS, CMS, and LHCb. …”

Force analysis of slope reinforced by Frame-Anchor-Support-Structure based on improved horizontal slice method. by Guang-Wen Fang, Fei Guo, An-Ping Huang

“…By comparing and analyzing with the overall sliding wedge method, the reasonableness and accuracy of the calculation method of this paper are verified, and the variety rule of force on the slope reinforced by FASS under different loads is obtained. The results show that the combined force of lateral earth pressures on slopes calculated in this paper is smaller than that of the overall sliding wedge method, but the difference between the two is not significant (within 9% difference). …”
