Escape rooms have gained significant popularity in recent years, offering a blend of puzzle-solving and treasure hunt-like challenges, making them an enjoyable activity for the participants team-building experience. More importantly, they provide unique engaging way to introduce new topics, which can be effectively leveraged science outreach. In 2021, team from INFN developed HEPScape, escape room centered on high-energy physics. Participants are immersed simulation Large Hadron Collider at...
A muon collider would enable the big jump ahead in energy reach that is needed for a fruitful exploration of fundamental interactions. The challenges producing collisions at high luminosity and 10 TeV centre mass are being investigated by recently-formed International Muon Collider Collaboration. This Review summarises status recent advances on colliders design, physics detector studies. aim to provide global perspective field outline directions future work.
Although it is well known that chronic ethanol abuse produces sexual dysfunction and impaired spermatogenesis, the mechanisms of ethanol-induced testicular alterations are not fully explained. Therefore, aim this study was to investigate oxidative damage in rats given drinking water containing 3% for 8 weeks. Control were pair-fed with saccharose. The mean daily intake 4.05 g kg−1, corresponding consumption 4 l wine (10% alcohol) or 0.7 whiskey (40% by a man 70 kg body wt. Exposure caused...
Among the post-LHC generation of particle accelerators, muon collider represents a unique machine with capability to provide very high energy leptonic collisions and open path vast mostly unexplored physics programme. However, on experimental side, such great potential is accompanied by unprecedented technological challenges, due fact that muons are unstable particles. Their decay products interact elements produce an intense flux background particles eventually reach detector may degrade...
The Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) detector is one of the two general-purpose detectors at CERN LHC.

A muon collider represents the ideal machine to reach very high center-of-mass energies ($\sqrt{s}=1.5-10$ TeV) and luminosities $O$($0.5-10$/ab). large number of Higgs bosons will be produced mainly through Vector Boson Fusion ($VBF$) processes. The $VBF$ Z ($ZZH$) production process could difficult disentangle from dominant $WWZ$, since final state muons, in forward region, escape detector. As a consequence, at multi-TeV collider, $H \rightarrow ZZ$ decay turns out favoured probe...
