Linking chiral nuclear forces to light-ion collisions: a global sensitivity analysis
Ultrarelativistic $^{16}$O+$^{16}$O and $^{20}$Ne+$^{20}$Ne collisions recently performed at the Large Hadron Collider have imaged quadrupole and octupole correlations between nucleons through the…Heavy quarkonium spin transport in a hot medium
We investigate the in-medium spin transport of heavy quarkonium using an open-quantum-system approach based on potential nonrelativistic QCD.Non-uniqueness of the amplitude reconstruction in the inverse scattering problem and a refinement of Hoehler's resonance clustering
Reaction-amplitude reconstruction in the inverse scattering problem is limited by the bilinear form of all reaction observables.Pionization experiments in light nuclei
The zero-energy antiproton absorption in light nuclei is considered.Observation of Scaling of Higher-Order Flow in a Unitary Fermi Gas
Collective flow emerging from spatially anisotropic many-body systems is a fundamental manifestation of strongly interacting quantum matter, from ultracold quantum gases to the quark-gluon plasma…Elliptic and triangular flow responses in O+O and Ne+Ne collisions from hydrodynamics and kinetic theory
Recent light-ion collisions at the Large Hadron Collider provide an opportunity to investigate the system-size dependence of hydrodynamization and whether the structure of light nuclei can be…Toward a Quantum Information Foundation for Neutron Scattering
Neutron scattering is a central probe of quantum materials, yet what quantum information can, in principle, be extracted from a scattering experiment remains unclear.Quantum computing for high energy nuclear physics
Quantum information science (QIS) offers a new set of conceptual and computational tools ideally suited to exploring the many-body, out-of-equilibrium, and real-time properties of strongly…Proton generalized parton distributions from electromagnetic form factors: A theoretically constrained phenomenological reconstruction
We present a theoretically constrained phenomenological reconstruction of the unpolarized, chiral-even, leading-twist proton generalized parton distributions $H^q$ and $E^q$.Light nucleus and hypernucleus production at RHIC and LHC energies: a comparative study of phenomenological models
This document summarizes the work of the EMMI Rapid Reaction Task Force on ``Understanding light (anti)nuclei production at RHIC and LHC'', which took place at GSI on 8--12 April 2024.Electroweak Constraints on Nuclear Neutron Distributions and the Low-Energy Weak Mixing Angle
Coherent elastic neutrino--nucleus scattering (CE$ν$NS) offers a low-energy probe of the weak mixing angle, $\sin^2θ_W$, and possible new physics in the neutrino sector.Parametrization of unitary matrices, parametrizing the symmetric $S$ matrix and the $NN$ $S$ matrix above the inelastic threshold
None of the $S$-matrix representations used in analyses of nucleon-nucleon ($NN$) scattering above the inelastic threshold is implicitly unitary, general, and connected to low-energy (Stapp)…Convergence of many-body truncations in the in-medium similarity renormalization group
The in-medium similarity renormalization group (IMSRG) is a leading \textit{ab initio} method for describing atomic nuclei.Probing nuclear deformation through global $Λ$ polarization in U$+$U collisions at HIAF
We investigate the effects of nuclear deformation on global $Λ$ polarization in U+U collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=2.85$~GeV using the JAM2 transport model, in view of future measurements at HIAF.New Scaling Relations for Nucleons in Three-Nucleon Short-Range Correlations
The search for three nucleon short range correlations~(3N- SRCs) in nuclei is one of the intensive areas of research in high density nuclear physics.Characterizing $\pT$-differential Radial-Flow Fluctuations in Au+Au Collisions at FAIR with a Multi-Phase Transport Model
We report the first predictions of the transverse-momentum ($\pT$)-differential radial-flow fluctuation observable, $\vzpT$, in Au+Au collisions at the top SIS100 energy, $\snn=4.9$~GeV, which will…Color transparency effects on the deuteron spin observables in the hard $pd \to ppn$ reaction
The pionless breakup of a deuteron induced by 15 GeV/$c$ beam proton is considered theoretically in the kinematics where both outgoing protons are fast and the neutron is slow in the rest frame of…Algebraic models of alpha-cluster nuclei
In this contribution I review the algebraic cluster model (ACM) for $α$-conjugate nuclei with $A=4n$ and its extension to the cluster shell model (CSM) for $A=4n+x$ nuclei.Heavy quarkonium dynamics beyond the binding energy over temperature expansion
We revisit the pNRQCD open-quantum-system description of bottomonium in a quark-gluon plasma, writing the full master equation in a spherical basis and establishing a framework for its numerical…Quantum Simulation of Hadronization: From String Breaking to Event Generation
High-energy collisions produce large numbers of quarks and gluons that are bound into hadrons by the confining interactions of quantum chromodynamics (QCD).
