An analysis of leitmotifs in Batman vs Superman / Khairul Aziem Ahmad Rashidi
No full textWhat is film music? According to Madsen (2010),"Film music is defined as any piece of original music composed specifically for use in a Hollywood-produced motion picture. This music can come in a variety of styles, ranging from a traditional symphony orchestra to a jazz or rock approach" (p. 3). Film music is related to film scoring. According to Brown (2016), film scoring is the process of composing original music for the specific purpose of film accompaniment. [Film music] is characterized by its power to define meaning and to express emotion: film music guides our response to the images and connects us to them (Kalinak, nd.). A musical score can comment on visual information and dialogue by reinforcing or undercutting that information; it can provide spatial, thematic, or temporal transitions; it can helps and accompanying on situation and character; it can direct attention to key information on the screen; it can counterpoint or underscore a visual impression (Kalinak, 1982, p. 2). Besides that, according to Leach (2010) film scoring is craft and art or writing music in sync to visuals
Paweł Mykietyn and the Soundtrack to EO (IO) by Jerzy Skolimowski. Introductory Remarks
No full textThe soundtrack for EO (Polish: IO), composed by Paweł Mykietyn, is a starting point for a discussion on the role of film music as a key element in shaping the atmosphere, characters, and narrative in the movie by Jerzy Skolimowski. Based on the concept of Zofia Lissa, the first Polish film music theorist of film music, and the research of Kathryn Kalinak, the author discusses the influence of sounds and musical motifs on the perception of the viewer. The article presents the functions of individual works used as tools to express the emotions of the characters and emphasize significant plot moments. The analysis shows how film music is an important element in the interpretation of an audiovisual work, influencing the viewer’s perception and adding new layers of meaning
Study of the p–p–K + and p–p–K - dynamics using the femtoscopy technique
No full textThe interactions of kaons (K) and antikaons (K ̄) with few nucleons (N) were studied so far using kaonic atom data and measurements of kaon production and interaction yields in nuclei. Some details of the three-body KNN and K ̄ NN dynamics are still not well understood, mainly due to the overlap with multi-nucleon interactions in nuclei. An alternative method to probe the dynamics of three-body systems with kaons is to study the final state interaction within triplet of particles emitted in pp collisions at the Large Hadron Collider, which are free from effects due to the presence of bound nucleons. This Letter reports the first femtoscopic study of p–p–K + and p–p–K - correlations measured in high-multiplicity pp collisions at s = 13 TeV by the ALICE Collaboration. The analysis shows that the measured p–p–K + and p–p–K - correlation functions can be interpreted in terms of pairwise interactions in the triplets, indicating that the dynamics of such systems is dominated by the two-body interactions without significant contributions from three-body effects or bound states
Towards the understanding of the genuine three-body interaction for p-p-p and p-p-Lambda
No full textThree-body nuclear forces play an important role in the structure of nuclei and hypernuclei and are also incorporated in models to describe the dynamics of dense baryonic matter, such as in neutron stars. So far, only indirect measurements anchored to the binding energies of nuclei can be used to constrain the three-nucleon force, and if hyperons are considered, the scarce data on hypernuclei impose only weak constraints on the three-body forces. In this work, we present the first direct measurement of the p–p–p and p–p– Λ systems in terms of three-particle correlation functions carried out for pp collisions at s=13 TeV. Three-particle cumulants are extracted from the correlation functions by applying the Kubo formalism, where the three-particle interaction contribution to these correlations can be isolated after subtracting the known two-body interaction terms. A negative cumulant is found for the p–p–p system, hinting to the presence of a residual three-body effect while for p–p– Λ the cumulant is consistent with zero. This measurement demonstrates the accessibility of three-baryon correlations at the LHC

An alternative method to probe the dynamics of three-body

within triplet of particles emitted in pp collisions at the Large
Hadron Collider, which are free from effects due to the presence of bound nucleons. This Letter reports the first femtoscopic study of p–p–K+ and p–p–K− correlations measured in high-multiplicity pp collisions at √s = 13 TeV
by the ALICE Collaboration. The analysis shows that the
measured p–p–K+ and p–p–K− correlation functions can be
interpreted in terms of pairwise interactions in the triplets,

Investigating the p--π± and p--p--π± dynamics with femtoscopy in pp collisions at s=13 TeV
No full textThe interaction between pions and nucleons plays a crucial role in hadron physics. It represents a fundamental building block of the low-energy QCD dynamics and is subject to several resonance excitations. This work studies the p--π± dynamics using femtoscopic correlations in high-multiplicity pp collisions at s=13 TeV measured by ALICE at the LHC. As the final-state interaction between protons and pions is well constrained by scattering experiments and the study of pionic hydrogen, the results give access to information on the particle-emitting source in pp collisions using the femtoscopy methods. The scaling of the source size of primordial protons and pions against their pair transverse mass is extracted. The results are compared with the source sizes studied with p–p, p--K+, and π±–π± pairs by ALICE in the same collision system and are found to be in agreement for the different particle pairs. This reinforces recent findings by ALICE of a common emission source for all hadron-pairs in pp collisions at LHC energies. Furthermore, the p--p--π± systems are studied using three-particle femtoscopy in pp collisions at s=13 TeV. The presence of three-body effects is analyzed utilizing the cumulant expansion method. In this formalism, the known two-body interactions are subtracted in order to isolate the three-body effects. For both, p--p--π+ and p--p--π-, a non-zero cumulant is found, indicating effects beyond pairwise interactions. These results give information on the coupling of the pion to multiple nucleons
p-p, p-Lambda, and Lambda-Lambda correlations studied via femtoscopy in pp reactions at root s=7 TeV
No full textWe report on the first femtoscopic measurement of baryon pairs, such as p-p, p-Λ, and Λ-Λ, measured by ALICE at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in proton-proton collisions at s=7TeV. This study demonstrates the feasibility of such measurements in pp collisions at ultrarelativistic energies. The femtoscopy method is employed to constrain the hyperon-nucleon and hyperon-hyperon interactions, which are still rather poorly understood. A new method to evaluate the influence of residual correlations induced by the decays of resonances and experimental impurities is hereby presented. The p-p, p-Λ, and Λ-Λ correlation functions were fitted simultaneously with the help of a new tool developed specifically for the femtoscopy analysis in small colliding systems: Correlation Analysis Tool using the Schrödinger equation (CATS). Within the assumption that in pp collisions the three particle pairs originate from a common source, its radius is found to be equal to r0=1.125±0.018(stat)-0.035+0.058(syst) fm. The sensitivity of the measured p-Λ correlation is tested against different scattering parameters, which are defined by the interaction among the two particles, but the statistics is not sufficient yet to discriminate among different models. The measurement of the Λ-Λ correlation function constrains the phase space spanned by the effective range and scattering length of the strong interaction. Discrepancies between the measured scattering parameters and the resulting correlation functions at LHC and RHIC energies are discussed in the context of various models
Measurement of the production of high-p(T) electrons from heavy-flavour hadron decays in Pb-Pb collisions at root s(NN)=2.76 TeV
No full textElectrons from heavy-flavour hadron decays (charm and beauty) were measured with the ALICE detector in Pb-Pb collisions at a centre-of-mass of energy root s(NN) = 2.76 TeV. The transverse momentum (pT) differential production yields at mid-rapidity were used to calculate the nuclear modification factor R-AA in the interval 3 < p(T) < 18 GeV/c. The R-AA shows a strong suppression compared to binary scaling of pp collisions at the same energy (up to a factor of 4) in the 10% most central Pb-Pb collisions. There is a centrality trend of suppression, and a weaker suppression (down to a factor of 2) in semi-peripheral (50-80%) collisions is observed. The suppression of electrons in this broad p(T) interval indicates that both charm and beauty quarks lose energy when they traverse the hot medium formed in Pb-Pb collisions at LHC.

Measurement of isolated photon-hadron correlations in √ s NN = 5.02 TeV p p and p -Pb collisions
No full textThis paper presents isolated photon-hadron correlations using pp and p-Pb data collected by the ALICE detector at the LHC. For photons with |η|<0.67 and 12<40 GeV/c, the associated yield of charged particles in the range |η|<0.80 and 0.5<10 GeV/c is presented. These momenta are much lower than previous measurements at the LHC. No significant difference between pp and p-Pb is observed, with Pythia 8.2 describing both data sets within uncertainties. This measurement constrains nuclear effects on the parton fragmentation in p-Pb collisions, and provides a benchmark for future studies of Pb-Pb collisions
