Das politische Interesse am menschlichen Leben durchdringt nicht nur Wissenschaften, Ökonomie und Ethik, sondern auch die Künste. Die fiktionalen Welten von Literatur, Film und Serie fungieren als Aushandlungs- und Reflexionsräume von Biopolitik(en): Menschliche Figuren werden innerhalb biopolitischer Strukturen modelliert, um den Menschen als Individuum sowie als Teil einer Gemeinschaft zu reflektieren; menschliche Lebensweisen werden in vielzähligen Varianten durchgespielt und in ihrer Bedeutung ausgelotet, um ein spezifisches Wissen über den Menschen zu generieren, das kritisch zum biopolitischen Diskurs beiträgt. Es ist ebenjener kritische Diskursbeitrag von Literatur, Film und Serie, der uns im vorliegenden Band interessiert. Dieser Sammelband, der auf einen von Studierenden des Fachbereichs Komparatistik / Vergleichende Literatur- und Kulturwissenschaft der Universität Paderborn organisierten wissenschaftlichen Workshop im September 2021 zurückgeht, wagt, sich diesen Aushandlungen und Reflexionen von Biopolitik(en) in Literatur, Film und Serie zu stellen und sie produktiv zu diskutieren.
A new, more precise measurement of the Λ hyperon lifetime is performed using a large data sample of Pb−Pb collisions at sNN−−−√=5.02 TeV with ALICE. The Λ and Λ¯¯¯¯ hyperons are reconstructed at midrapidity using their two-body weak decay channel Λ→p+π− and Λ¯¯¯¯→p¯¯¯+π+. The measured value of the Λ lifetime is τΛ=[261.07±0.37 (stat.)±0.72 (syst.)] ps. The relative difference between the lifetime of Λ and Λ¯¯¯¯, which represents an important test of CPT invariance in the strangeness sector, is also measured. The obtained value (τΛ−τΛ¯¯¯¯)/τΛ=0.0013±0.0028 (stat.)±0.0021 (syst.) is consistent with zero within the uncertainties. Both measurements of the Λ hyperon lifetime and of the relative difference between τΛ and τΛ¯¯¯¯ are in agreement with the corresponding world averages of the Particle Data Group and about a factor of three more precise.
An interdisciplinary group of researchers from both Israel and Germany came together in December 2021 to exchange and discuss findings on the effects of the COVID-pandemic on children and older adults in Israel and Germany.This white paper provides a selection of empirical research findings, policy recommenda-tions and identified blind spots for future research with respect to a “linking ages” perspec-tive. The authors emphasize on loneliness in early and late life from a specific social science perspective and based on a selected set of definitions.
Das Forum Interdisziplinäre Begriffsgeschichte hat in seiner zwölfjährigen Geschichte immer wieder Begriffe an der Schnittstelle von Biologie sowie Gesellschaft und Kultur, insbesondere aber solche des ökologischen Diskurses thematisiert. [...] Das vorliegende, von der Slawistin Tatjana Petzer (Universität Graz) als Gastherausgeberin gestaltete Schwerpunktthema "Ecology in Eastern European Terminology" lässt sich als Fortsetzung dieser Thematiken verstehen. Die Beiträge verdeutlichen, wie Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftler osteuropäischer Länder und der Sowjetunion, die oftmals zunächst im engen Kontakt mit westeuropäischen Wissenschaftsentwicklungen standen, aufgrund der späteren, vor allem im Kalten Krieg forcierten Abkoppelung eigenständige Terminologien und Konzepte entwickelten, deren Zusammenhang mit westlichen Ideen dadurch verdeckt waren, und doch mitunter auch wieder auf sie zurückwirkten. Viele der behandelten interdisziplinären Begriffe (Biogeochemie, Biogeozönose, Metabolismus, Regulation oder Geocryologie) thematisieren den heute so intensiv diskutierten Zusammenhang zwischen Ökologie und Geologie.
The elliptic (v2) and triangular (v3) azimuthal anisotropy coefficients in central 3He+Au, d+Au, and p+Au collisions at sNN−−−√ = 200 GeV are measured as a function of transverse momentum (pT) at mid-rapidity (|η|<0.9), via the azimuthal angular correlation between two particles both at |η|<0.9. While the v2(pT) values depend on the colliding systems, the v3(pT) values are system-independent within the uncertainties, suggesting an influence on eccentricity from sub-nucleonic fluctuations in these small-sized systems. These results also provide stringent constraints for the hydrodynamic modeling of these systems.
We report the measurement of K∗0 meson at midrapidity (|y|< 1.0) in Au+Au collisions at sNN−−−√~=~7.7, 11.5, 14.5, 19.6, 27 and 39 GeV collected by the STAR experiment during the RHIC beam energy scan (BES) program. The transverse momentum spectra, yield, and average transverse momentum of K∗0 are presented as functions of collision centrality and beam energy. The K∗0/K yield ratios are presented for different collision centrality intervals and beam energies. The K∗0/K ratio in heavy-ion collisions are observed to be smaller than that in small system collisions (e+e and p+p). The K∗0/K ratio follows a similar centrality dependence to that observed in previous RHIC and LHC measurements. The data favor the scenario of the dominance of hadronic re-scattering over regeneration for K∗0 production in the hadronic phase of the medium.
We report a measurement of cumulants and correlation functions of event-by-event proton multiplicity distributions from fixed-target Au+Au collisions at sNN−−−√ = 3 GeV measured by the STAR experiment. Protons are identified within the rapidity (y) and transverse momentum (pT) region −0.9<y<0 and 0.4<pT<2.0 GeV/c in the center-of-mass frame. A systematic analysis of the proton cumulants and correlation functions up to sixth-order as well as the corresponding ratios as a function of the collision centrality, pT, and y are presented. The effect of pileup and initial volume fluctuations on these observables and the respective corrections are discussed in detail. The results are compared to calculations from the hadronic transport UrQMD model as well as a hydrodynamic model. In the most central 5\% collisions, the value of proton cumulant ratio C4/C2 is negative, drastically different from the values observed in Au+Au collisions at higher energies. Compared to model calculations including Lattice QCD, a hadronic transport model, and a hydrodynamic model, the strong suppression in the ratio of C4/C2 at 3 GeV Au+Au collisions indicates an energy regime dominated by hadronic interactions.
We report the triton (t) production in Au+Au collisions at sNN−−−√ = 7.7 -- 200 GeV measured at mid-rapidity (|y|< 0.5) by the STAR experiment from the first phase of the beam energy scan at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). The nuclear compound yield ratio (Nt×Np/N2d), which is predicted to be sensitive to the local density fluctuation of neutrons, monotonically decreases with increasing charged-particle multiplicity (dNch/dη) and exhibits a scaling behavior. The multiplicity dependence of the yield ratios are compared with calculations from coalescence and thermal models. Relative to the coalescence baseline, enhancements of the yield ratios are observed in the 0%-10% most central collisions at 19.6 and 27 GeV with a significance of 2.3σ and 3.4σ, respectively, with a combined significance of 4.1σ. The measured significance of these enhancements decreases with smaller pT acceptance. The enhancements are not observed in peripheral collisions and model calculations without critical fluctuation. Important implications on the QCD phase structure and the production mechanism of light nuclei in heavy-ion collisions are discussed.
A decisive experimental test of the Chiral Magnetic Effect (CME) is considered one of the major scientific goals at the Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider (RHIC) towards understanding the nontrivial topological fluctuations of the Quantum Chromodynamics vacuum. In heavy-ion collisions, the CME is expected to result in a charge separation phenomenon across the reaction plane, whose strength could be strongly energy dependent. The previous CME searches have been focused on top RHIC energy collisions. In this Letter, we present a low energy search for the CME in Au+Au collisions at sNN−−−√=27 GeV. We measure elliptic flow scaled charge-dependent correlators relative to the event planes that are defined at both mid-rapidity |η|<1.0 and at forward rapidity 2.1<|η|<5.1. We compare the results based on the directed flow plane (Ψ1) at forward rapidity and the elliptic flow plane (Ψ2) at both central and forward rapidity. The CME scenario is expected to result in a larger correlation relative to Ψ1 than to Ψ2, while a flow driven background scenario would lead to a consistent result for both event planes[1,2]. In 10-50\% centrality, results using three different event planes are found to be consistent within experimental uncertainties, suggesting a flow driven background scenario dominating the measurement. We obtain an upper limit on the deviation from a flow driven background scenario at the 95\% confidence level. This work opens up a possible road map towards future CME search with the high statistics data from the RHIC Beam Energy Scan Phase-II.
We present the first measurements of transverse momentum spectra of π±, K±, p(p¯) at midrapidity (|y|<0.1) in U+U collisions at sNN−−−−√ = 193 GeV with the STAR detector at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). The centrality dependence of particle yields, average transverse momenta, particle ratios and kinetic freeze-out parameters are discussed. The results are compared with the published results from Au+Au collisions at \snn = 200 GeV in STAR. The results are also compared to those from A Multi Phase Transport (AMPT) model.
We report the beam energy and collision centrality dependence of fifth and sixth order cumulants (C5, C6) and factorial cumulants (κ5, κ6) of net-proton and proton distributions, from sNN−−−−√=3−200 GeV Au+Au collisions at RHIC. The net-proton cumulant ratios generally follow the hierarchy expected from QCD thermodynamics, except for the case of collisions at sNN−−−−√ = 3 GeV. C6/C2 for 0-40\% centrality collisions is increasingly negative with decreasing sNN−−−−√, while it is positive for the lowest sNN−−−−√ studied. These observed negative signs are consistent with QCD calculations (at baryon chemical potential, μB≤ 110 MeV) that include a crossover quark-hadron transition. In addition, for sNN−−−−√≥ 11.5 GeV, the measured proton κn, within uncertainties, does not support the two-component shape of proton distributions that would be expected from a first-order phase transition. Taken in combination, the hyper-order proton number fluctuations suggest that the structure of QCD matter at high baryon density, μB∼750 MeV (sNN−−−−√ = 3 GeV) is starkly different from those at vanishing μB∼20MeV (sNN−−−−√ = 200 GeV and higher).
We report on measurements of sequential Υ suppression in Au+Au collisions at √sNN = 200 GeV with the STAR detector at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) through both the di-electron and di-muon channels. In the 0-60% centrality class, the nuclear modification factors (RAA), which quantify the level of yield suppression in heavy-ion collisions compared to p+p collisions, for Υ(1S) and Υ(2S) are 0.40±0.03 (stat.)±0.03 (sys.)±0.07 (norm.) and 0.26±0.07 (stat.)±0.02 (sys.)±0.04 (norm.), respectively, while the upper limit of the Υ(3S) RAA is 0.20 at a 95% confidence level. This observation provides experimental evidence that the Υ(3S) is significantly more suppressed than the Υ(1S) at RHIC. The level of suppression for Υ(1S) is comparable to that observed at the much higher collision energy at the Large Hadron Collider. These results point to the creation of a deconfined medium at RHIC whose temperature is sufficiently high to strongly suppress excited Υ states.
Elliptic flow of heavy-flavor decay electrons in Au+Au collisions at √sNN = 27 and 54.4 GeV at RHIC
(2023)
We report on new measurements of elliptic flow (v2) of electrons from heavy-flavor hadron decays at mid-rapidity (|y|<0.8) in Au+Au collisions at sNN−−−√ = 27 and 54.4 GeV from the STAR experiment. Heavy-flavor decay electrons (eHF) in Au+Au collisions at sNN−−−√ = 54.4 GeV exhibit a non-zero v2 in the transverse momentum (pT) region of pT< 2 GeV/c with the magnitude comparable to that at sNN−−−√=200 GeV. The measured eHF v2 at 54.4 GeV is also consistent with the expectation of their parent charm hadron v2 following number-of-constituent-quark scaling as other light and strange flavor hadrons at this energy. These suggest that charm quarks gain significant collectivity through the evolution of the QCD medium and may reach local thermal equilibrium in Au+Au collisions at sNN−−−√=54.4 GeV. The measured eHF v2 in Au+Au collisions at sNN−−−√= 27 GeV is consistent with zero within large uncertainties. The energy dependence of v2 for different flavor particles (π,ϕ,D0/eHF) shows an indication of quark mass hierarchy in reaching thermalization in high-energy nuclear collisions.
Elliptic flow of heavy-flavor decay electrons in Au+Au collisions at √sNN = 27 and 54.4 GeV at RHIC
(2023)
We report on new measurements of elliptic flow (v2) of electrons from heavy-flavor hadron decays at mid-rapidity (|y|<0.8) in Au+Au collisions at sNN−−−√ = 27 and 54.4\,GeV from the STAR experiment. Heavy-flavor decay electrons (eHF) in Au+Au collisions at sNN−−−√ = 54.4\,GeV exhibit a non-zero v2 in the transverse momentum (pT) region of pT< 2\,GeV/c with the magnitude comparable to that at sNN−−−√=200 \,GeV. The measured eHF v2 at 54.4\,GeV is also consistent with the expectation of their parent charm hadron v2 following number-of-constituent-quark scaling as other light and strange flavor hadrons at this energy. These suggest that charm quarks gain significant collectivity through the evolution of the QCD medium and may reach local thermal equilibrium in Au+Au collisions at sNN−−−√=54.4\,GeV. The measured eHF v2 in Au+Au collisions at sNN−−−√= 27\,GeV is consistent with zero within large uncertainties. The energy dependence of v2 for different flavor particles (π,ϕ,D0/eHF) shows an indication of quark mass hierarchy in reaching thermalization in high-energy nuclear collisions.
Density fluctuations near the QCD critical point can be probed via an intermittency analysis in relativistic heavy-ion collisions. We report the first measurement of intermittency in Au+Au collisions at sNN−−−√ = 7.7-200 GeV measured by the STAR experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). The scaled factorial moments of identified charged hadrons are analyzed at mid-rapidity and within the transverse momentum phase space. We observe a power-law behavior of scaled factorial moments in Au+Au collisions and a decrease in the extracted scaling exponent (ν) from peripheral to central collisions. The ν is consistent with a constant for different collisions energies in the mid-central (10-40\%) collisions. Moreover, the ν in the 0-5\% most central Au+Au collisions exhibits a non-monotonic energy dependence that reaches a possible minimum around sNN−−−√ = 27 GeV. The physics implications on the QCD phase structure are discussed.
We report here the first observation of directed flow (v1) of the hypernuclei 3ΛH and 4ΛH in mid-central Au+Au collisions at sNN−−−√ = 3 GeV at RHIC. These data are taken as part of the beam energy scan program carried out by the STAR experiment. From 165 million good events in 5-40% centrality, about 8400 3ΛH and 5200 4ΛH candidates are reconstructed through two- and three-body decay channels. We observe that these hypernuclei exhibit significant directed flow. Comparing to that of light nuclei, it is found that the mid-rapidity v1 slopes of 3ΛH and 4ΛH follow baryon number scaling, implying that the coalescence is the dominant mechanism for these hypernuclei production in such collisions.
The linear and mode-coupled contributions to higher-order anisotropic flow are presented for Au+Au collisions at sNN−−−√ = 27, 39, 54.4, and 200 GeV and compared to similar measurements for Pb+Pb collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The coefficients and the flow harmonics' correlations, which characterize the linear and mode-coupled response to the lower-order anisotropies, indicate a beam energy dependence consistent with an influence from the specific shear viscosity (η/s). In contrast, the dimensionless coefficients, mode-coupled response coefficients, and normalized symmetric cumulants are approximately beam-energy independent, consistent with a significant role from initial-state effects. These measurements could provide unique supplemental constraints to (i) distinguish between different initial-state models and (ii) delineate the temperature (T) and baryon chemical potential (μB) dependence of the specific shear viscosity ηs(T,μB).
The chiral magnetic wave (CMW) has been theorized to propagate in the deconfined nuclear medium formed in high-energy heavy-ion collisions, and to cause a difference in elliptic flow (v2) between negatively and positively charged hadrons. Experimental data consistent with the CMW have been reported by the STAR Collaboration at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), based on the charge asymmetry dependence of the pion v2 from Au+Au collisions at sNN−−−√ = 27 to 200 GeV. In this comprehensive study, we present the STAR measurements of elliptic flow and triangular flow of charged pions, along with the v2 of charged kaons and protons, as a function of charge asymmetry in Au+Au collisions at sNN−−−√ = 27, 39, 62.4 and 200 GeV. The slope parameters extracted from the linear dependence of the v2 difference on charge asymmetry for different particle species are reported and compared in different centrality intervals. In addition, the slopes of v2 for charged pions in small systems, \textit{i.e.}, p+Au and d+Au at sNN−−−√ = 200 GeV, are also presented and compared with those in large systems, \textit{i.e.}, Au+Au at sNN−−−√ = 200 GeV and U+U at 193 GeV. Our results provide new insights for the possible existence of the CMW, and further constrain the background contributions in heavy-ion collisions at RHIC energies.
The elliptic (v2) and triangular (v3) azimuthal anisotropy coefficients in central 3He+Au, d+Au, and p+Au collisions at sNN−−−√ = 200 GeV are measured as a function of transverse momentum (pT) at mid-rapidity (|η|<0.9), via the azimuthal angular correlation between two particles both at |η|<0.9. While the v2(pT) values depend on the colliding systems, the v3(pT) values are system-independent within the uncertainties, suggesting an influence on eccentricity from sub-nucleonic fluctuations in these small-sized systems. These results also provide stringent constraints for the hydrodynamic modeling of these systems.

Measurements of mass and Λ binding energy of 4ΛH and 4ΛHe in Au+Au collisions at √sNN=3 GeV are presented, with an aim to address the charge symmetry breaking (CSB) problem in hypernuclei systems with atomic number A = 4. The Λ binding energies are measured to be 2.22±0.06(stat.)±0.14(syst.) MeV and 2.38±0.13(stat.)±0.12(syst.) MeV for 4ΛH and 4ΛHe, respectively. The measured Λ binding-energy difference is 0.16±0.14(stat.)±0.10(syst.) MeV for ground states. Combined with the γ-ray transition energies, the binding-energy difference for excited states is −0.16±0.14(stat.)±0.10(syst.) MeV, which is negative and comparable to the value of the ground states within uncertainties. These new measurements on the Λ binding-energy difference in A = 4 hypernuclei systems are consistent with the theoretical calculations that result in ΔB4Λ(1+exc) ≈ −ΔB4Λ(0+g.s.)<0 and present a new method for the study of CSB effect using relativistic heavy-ion collisions.
Azimuthal anisotropy measurement of (multi-)strange hadrons in Au+Au collisions at √sNN = 54.4 GeV
(2022)
Azimuthal anisotropy of produced particles is one of the most important observables used to access the collective properties of the expanding medium created in relativistic heavy-ion collisions. In this paper, we present second (v2) and third (v3) order azimuthal anisotropies of K0S, ϕ, Λ, Ξ and Ω at mid-rapidity (|y|<1) in Au+Au collisions at sNN−−−√ = 54.4 GeV measured by the STAR detector. The v2 and v3 are measured as a function of transverse momentum and centrality. Their energy dependence is also studied. v3 is found to be more sensitive to the change in the center-of-mass energy than v2. Scaling by constituent quark number is found to hold for v2 within 10%. This observation could be evidence for the development of partonic collectivity in 54.4 GeV Au+Au collisions. Differences in v2 and v3 between baryons and anti-baryons are presented, and ratios of v3/v3/22 are studied and motivated by hydrodynamical calculations. The ratio of v2 of ϕ mesons to that of anti-protons (v2(ϕ)/v2(p¯)) shows centrality dependence at low transverse momentum, presumably resulting from the larger effects from hadronic interactions on anti-proton v2.
In relativistic heavy-ion collisions, a global spin polarization, PH, of Λ and Λ¯ hyperons along the direction of the system angular momentum was discovered and measured across a broad range of collision energies and demonstrated a trend of increasing PH with decreasing sNN−−−√. A splitting between Λ and Λ¯ polarization may be possible due to their different magnetic moments in a late-stage magnetic field sustained by the quark-gluon plasma which is formed in the collision. The results presented in this study find no significant splitting at the collision energies of sNN−−−√=19.6 and 27 GeV in the RHIC Beam Energy Scan Phase II using the STAR detector, with an upper limit of PΛ¯−PΛ<0.24% and PΛ¯−PΛ<0.35%, respectively, at a 95% confidence level. We derive an upper limit on the naïve extraction of the late-stage magnetic field of B<9.4⋅1012 T and B<1.4⋅1013 T at sNN−−−√=19.6 and 27 GeV, respectively, although more thorough derivations are needed. Differential measurements of PH were performed with respect to collision centrality, transverse momentum, and rapidity. With our current acceptance of |y|<1 and uncertainties, we observe no dependence on transverse momentum and rapidity in this analysis. These results challenge multiple existing model calculations following a variety of different assumptions which have each predicted a strong dependence on rapidity in this collision-energy range.

Wie kein anderes Land ist Italien im deutschsprachigen Raum seit mehr als 600 Jahren Gegenstand einer nahezu unüberschaubaren Auseinandersetzung in Kunst, Kultur, Philosophie und Politik. Als Kernland des römischen Imperiums, mit Rom als Zentrum der Christenheit und wichtiger Etappe auf dem Pilgerweg ins Heilige Land, durch jahrhundertelang politisch und wirtschaftlich mächtige Republiken wie beispielsweise Venedig, Genua und Florenz war Italien in vielerlei Hinsicht von besonderem Interesse. Dies gilt auch für die Zeit nach 1796, für die Zeit nach dem Einmarsch der französischen Truppen und die damit verbundene Umgestaltung der politischen Landkarte Italiens. Im ersten Teil stehen mit Blick auf das (post-)risorgimentale Italien zunächst exemplarische Untersuchungen in Literatur, Publizistik und Philosophie im Fokus. Der zweite Teil des Jahrbuchs ist dem Thema "Deutsche Künstler in Italien - zwischen politisch-ästhetischer Revolution und Traditionsbewahrung" gewidmet. Italien als Sehnsuchtsziel von Malern und Schriftstellerinnen sowie als Gegenstand von Reiseberichten, Gedichten und als Opernschauplatz bietet einerseits Inspiration und Freiraum zum künstlerischen Schaffen. Andererseits ist Italien aber auch ein kulturell seit Jahrhunderten beschriebenes Gebiet, das zu einer Auseinandersetzung mit den Kulturgeschichten beider Länder und bislang vorliegenden künstlerischen Gestaltungen herausfordert.
The STAR experiment at RHIC reports new measurements of jet quenching based on the semi-inclusive distribution of charged-particle jets recoiling from direct photon (γdir) and neutral pion (π0) triggers in p+p and central Au+Au collisions at √sNN=200 GeV, for triggers in the range 9<EtrigT<20 GeV. The datasets have integrated luminosities of 3.9 nb−1 for Au+Au and 23 pb−1 for p+p collisions. Jets are reconstructed using the anti-kT algorithm with resolution parameters R=0.2 and 0.5. The large uncorrelated jet background in central Au+Au collisions is corrected using a mixed-event approach, which enables precise charged-particle jet measurements at low transverse momentum pchT,jet and large R. Recoil-jet distributions are reported in the range pchT,jet<25 GeV. Comparison of the distributions measured in p+p and Au+Au collisions reveals strong medium-induced jet yield suppression for R=0.2, with markedly less suppression for R=0.5. These data provide new insight into the mechanisms underlying jet quenching, and the angular dependence of medium-induced jet-energy transport.
The differential cross section for Z0 production, measured as a function of the boson's transverse momentum (pT), provides important constraints on the evolution of the transverse momentum dependent parton distribution functions (TMDs). The transverse single spin asymmetry (TSSA) of the Z0 is sensitive to one of the polarized TMDs, the Sivers function, which is predicted to have the opposite sign in p+p →W/Z+X from that which enters in semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering. In this Letter, the STAR Collaboration reports the first measurement of the Z0/γ∗ differential cross section as a function of its pT in p+p collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 510 GeV, together with the Z0/γ∗ total cross section. We also report the measurement of Z0/γ∗ TSSA in transversely polarized p+p collisions at 510 GeV.
We report the differential yields at mid-rapidity of the Breit-Wheeler process (γγ→e+e−) in peripheral Au+Au collisions at sNN−−−√= 54.4 GeV and 200 GeV with the STAR experiment at RHIC, as a function of energy sNN−−−√, e+e− transverse momentum pT, p2T, invariant mass Mee and azimuthal angle. In the invariant mass range of 0.4 < Mee < 2.6 GeV/c2 at low transverse momentum (pT <0.15 GeV/c), the yields increase while the pair ⟨p2T⟩−−−−√ decreases with increasing sNN−−−√, a feature is correctly predicted by the QED calculation. The energy dependencies of the measured quantities are sensitive to the nuclear form factor, infrared divergence and photon polarization. The data are compiled and used to extract the charge radius of the Au nucleus.
Selbstübersetzungen sind faszinierende Erscheinungsformen mehr- und anderssprachigen Schreibens. Sie bewegen sich an der Grenze zwischen pragmatischem Nutzen und autorschaftlicher Strategie, sie eröffnen die Lizenz zum produktiven Weiterdenken, Umstellen und Fortsetzen des Ausgangstextes, und oft werfen sie die Frage auf, welche der so entstehenden Versionen das Original und welche die Übersetzung ist. Bisherige Untersuchungen zum Thema konzentrierten sich meist auf literarische, insbesondere poetische Selbstübersetzungen. Der vorliegende Band nimmt dagegen das Moment der Übertragung von Wissen in den Blick - und damit den spannungsvollen Zusammenhang von sprachlichem Transfer und Wissenstransfer. Die Beiträge widmen sich gelehrten und intellektuellen Selbstübersetzern aus fünf Jahrhunderten: Martin Luther, Jan Baptista van Helmont, August Wilhelm Schlegel, Wilhelm und Alexander von Humboldt, Alessandro Manzoni, Heinrich Heine, Leo Spitzer, Walter Benjamin, Kurt Goldstein, Eugen Rosenstock-Huessy, Cornelius Castoriadis, Humberto Maturana und Wolfgang Iser.
Zukunft betrifft alle Lebewesen - dennoch ist das Nachdenken über Zukünftiges etwas genuin Menschliches: Literatur kann dieses Nachdenken, diese Vorfreude, diese Sorgen antizipieren, materialisieren und erfahrbar machen. Sie bietet eine Leinwand für die Fragen nach der Konstruktion von Zukunft und ihrer Interdependenz zu Vergangenheit und Gegenwart. Damit verbundene Reflexionen reichen von den Folgen des Klimawandels über die Bewältigung persönlicher und gesellschaftlicher Krisen bis hin zur Auseinandersetzung mit technischen Entwicklungen. Texte - im weitesten Sinne - gestalten Möglichkeitsräume ungewisser Zukünfte aus. Daher stehen die Geisteswissenschaften in der Verantwortung, das vorhandene Potenzial auszuloten. Dieser Band ist das Ergebnis des 13. Studierendenkongresses der Komparatistik mit dem Thema "Literatur & Zukunft", der am 27. und 28. Mai 2022 an der Bergischen Universität Wuppertal stattgefunden hat und Beiträge einer neuen Generation von Literaturwissenschaftler:innen versammelt.
Wahrnehmung wurde zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts bestimmt als "Organ unseres ursprünglichen Welt-Erlebens." Das ursprüngliche Welterleben war das des Flaneurs, der mit allen Sinnen Umwelt wahrnimmt, um sich zu situieren und aus dieser Verortung Sicherheit und Anderssein zu gewinnen; die Verortung war aber auch über die Individualebene hinaus von politischer, sozialer, ökonomischer und kultureller Bedeutung. Man greift nicht zu hoch, wenn der Vormärz als Zeitspanne betrachtet wird, in der eine vollere Realität in sehr spezifischer Weise greifbar wurde. Die Vielschichtigkeit der Vormärz-Welt war dabei eine konstanter Innovation, die eine Initiierung jener Selbstbilder bedeutete, die über das Wahrnehmen bestätigt wurden, das selbst ein anderes geworden war. Nicht mehr informierte Wahrnehmung über die tautologisch so genannten sozialen Tatsachen; sie schuf diese vielmehr um und damit neu - das Organ des Welterlebens wirkte hier auf die Welt ein und musste Erlebnisse nicht mehr erleiden. Die Erfahrung der Welt-Erlebnisse bestand auch darin, die Sinne als sinnenöffnend zu sehen, indem die theoretische Vorrangstellung des Informationsaspekts der Wahrnehmung zurücktrat und Indices von Engagement, Eingreifen und Emanzipation deutlich werden konnten. Dies bedeutete, eine Form des "Wirklichkeitskontakts" zu suchen, die bisher nicht bestanden hatte. War der Kontakt vorher so geschehen, dass die Sinne eine bestätigende Funktion den sozialen und politischen Valeurs gegenüber einnahmen, die bezogen auf Emanzipationsprozesse und deren Möglichkeit einer Schließung gleichkam, öffnete nun die Veränderung der Wahrnehmung neue Formen des Wirklichkeitskontakts. In diesem Kontakt war vor allem entscheidend, dass nun die Bedingungen der Wahrnehmung ersichtlich wurden, sich als veränderbar auswiesen und nicht mehr im umfassenden Konstrukt "Wahrnehmung" aufgingen.
Als Carlo Ginzburg die These formulierte, dass die Geisteswissenschaften wie die Kriminalliteratur im sog. "Indizienparadigma" gründeten, hatte er mit Sherlock Holmes einen Detektiv vor Augen, der persönlich den Tatort besichtigte. Dort erhob er Spuren, kombinierte sie und kam in oftmals ingeniösen, aber auch höchst spekulativen Schlussfolgerungen zur Lösung seines Falls. Vor dem Hintergrund aktueller Entwicklungen in Forschung und Fahndung muss dieses materiell und empirisch grundierte "Indizienparadigma" jedoch einer Revision unterzogen werden. Denn seit der Privatdetektiv von "Kommissar Computer" Konkurrenz bekommen hat, haben sich die Investigationspraktiken grundlegend gewandelt: So können computergestützte Fahndungs- und Aufklärungsmethoden eine Besichtigung des Tatorts ersetzen, während algorithmische Wahrscheinlichkeitsrechnung vergangene wie zukünftige Fälle erhellt. Der vorliegende Sammelband mit Beiträgen aus der Literatur-, Medien- und Designwissenschaft untersucht, inwiefern solche "virtuellen Investigationen" in Literatur und Kunst der Gegenwart eine Revision des Indizienparadigmas einschließen - und inwiefern Begriffe der Virtualität bereits die Investigativarbeit im 19. Jahrhundert prägten.
Berühren Denken
(2021)
'Theorie' geht etymologisch auf 'Anschauen' zurück. Der Theoretiker gilt gemeinhin als distanzierter Zuschauer. Diese distanzierte Position wird hier hinterfragt. Die Beiträge stützen sich dabei auf eine theoretische Tradition, die sich am Tastsinn als Korrektiv des Sehsinns orientiert. Taktilen Erfahrungsdimensionen wie dem Berühren wird schon lange eine idealisierte 'unmittelbare Wahrnehmung' jenseits von begrifflicher Abstraktion zugeschrieben. Die Autorinnen und Autoren beleuchten dagegen die komplizierte Verwandtschaft von Berühren und Denken und die begrifflichen Verwicklungen und Potenziale des Berührens. Es werden nicht nur unterschiedliche Konzepte von Berührung in Philosophie und Kunst betrachtet, sondern auch theoretische Denk- und Schreibformen erkundet, die selbst 'Berührungen' mit sich bringen.
Die vielgestaltige Kunst der europäischen Avantgarden hat besondere Dinge, Objekte oder Artefakte hervorgebracht, die hier ins Zentrum einer interdisziplinär erarbeiteten Sammlung historischer Fallstudien gerückt werden. Die Beiträge untersuchen aus Sicht der digitalen Gegenwart sprechende Gegenstände wie Hüte, Puppen, Bücher in print on demand, Fototexte, Audiokassetten und diverse Archivalien, zudem einzigartige kulturhistorische und künstlerische Produktionen, etwa das 'Michelin-Männchen', Hannah Höchs 'Hampelfrau' und Schreibautomaten. Eine neu akzentuierte Literaturgeschichte der Objekte zeichnet sich hier ab, zugleich eine andere Geschichte der Avantgarden von ihren Rändern her.
We report multi-differential measurements of strange hadron production ranging from mid- to target-rapidity in Au+Au collisions at a center-of-momentum energy per nucleon pair of sNN−−−√=3 GeV with the STAR experiment at RHIC. K0S meson and Λ hyperon yields are measured via their weak decay channels. Collision centrality and rapidity dependences of the transverse momentum spectra and particle ratios are presented. Particle mass and centrality dependence of the average transverse momenta of Λ and K0S are compared with other strange particles, providing evidence of the development of hadronic rescattering in such collisions. The 4π yields of each of these strange hadrons show a consistent centrality dependence. Discussions on radial flow, the strange hadron production mechanism, and properties of the medium created in such collisions are presented together with results from hadronic transport and thermal model calculations.
Measurements of exclusive J/ψ, ψ(2s), and electron-positron (e+e−) pair photoproduction in Au+Au ultra-peripheral collisions are reported by the STAR experiment at √sNN=200 GeV. We report several first measurements at the Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider, which are i) J/ψ photoproduction with large momentum transfer up to 2.2 (GeV/c)2, ii) coherent J/ψ photoproduction associated with neutron emissions from nuclear breakup, iii) the rapidity dependence of incoherent J/ψ photoproduction, iv) the ψ(2s) photoproduction cross section at mid-rapidity, and v) e+e− pair photoproduction up to high invariant mass of 6 GeV/c2. For measurement ii), the coherent J/ψ total cross section of γ∗+Au→J/ψ+Au as a function of the center-of-mass energy Wγ∗N has been obtained without photon energy ambiguities. The data are quantitatively compared with the Monte Carlo models STARlight, Sartre, BeAGLE, and theoretical calculations of gluon saturation with color glass condensate, nuclear shadowing with leading twist approximation, Quantum Electrodynamics, and the Next-to-Leading Order perturbative QCD. At the photon-nucleon center-of-mass energy of 25.0 GeV, the coherent and incoherent J/ψ cross sections of Au nuclei are found to be 71±10% and 36±7%, respectively, of that of free protons. These data provide an important experimental constraint for nuclear parton distribution functions and a unique opportunity to advance the understanding of the nuclear modification effect at the top RHIC energy.
