This paper proposes that the anomalous suppression of ratios in neutron-deficient nuclei, which standard models fail to explain, arises from a low-lying mixed-symmetry collective excitation mode that bridges single-particle and collective dynamics.
This study validates olivine as a promising candidate for the "paleo-detector" technique by using STEM to characterize heavy-ion tracks at various depths without etching, confirming that observed changes in track continuity align with SRIM simulation predictions regarding the transition between electronic and nuclear stopping power.
This paper summarizes recent STAR collaboration results on heavy-ion collisions, covering topics such as jet and quarkonium modification in quark-gluon plasma, collective dynamics, low-energy and small-sized collisions, and vector meson production, while concluding with an outlook on the upcoming data-analysis era.
The NA61/SHINE Collaboration presents results from a comprehensive two-dimensional scan of collision energy and system size to investigate the onset of deconfinement and baryon transport mechanisms in strongly interacting matter, highlighting key findings such as the ratio and comparisons with previous NA49 data.
This paper introduces and validates a novel no-reaction-plane method for extracting directed and elliptic flows in heavy-ion collisions using simple count asymmetries, demonstrating through PHSD model simulations that it accurately captures flow fluctuations without the need for event-plane reconstruction.
This paper extends perturbative Gubser flow solutions to derive analytic nonlinear response relations for flow harmonics and , revealing that a mismatch between participant and reaction planes introduces a critical angular factor that can significantly alter the magnitude and even the sign of effective nonlinear response coefficients.
This paper introduces "SemiCharmTag," a novel tool for LHCb that utilizes secondary vertex hadron track tagging to effectively reject or isolate charm semileptonic backgrounds in dimuon Drell-Yan measurements at 13.6 TeV, significantly improving signal-to-background ratios while enabling the creation of unbiased charm-enriched samples.
This paper presents the TQ4Q2.0 fragmentation functions, a high-precision, uncertainty-quantified framework for modeling the production of all-heavy -wave tetraquarks in hadronic collisions, which extends previous models by incorporating nonconstituent heavy-quark contributions and advanced evolution schemes to establish a definitive baseline for future collider phenomenology.
This paper demonstrates that two-proton emitters with initial diproton correlations, such as Ne, can serve as sources of spin-entangled proton pairs exhibiting correlations that exceed local-hidden-variable bounds, provided the emission occurs via a democratic three-body process rather than sequential decay.
Using the complete Borexino dataset from 2007 to 2021, researchers established the most stringent experimental limits to date on the lifetime of nuclei against Pauli exclusion principle-forbidden transitions, setting lower bounds ranging from to years for various decay channels and deriving extremely tight upper limits on the relative strengths of such non-Paulian processes.
This paper outlines a modern, transparent, and methodologically robust effort to improve the precision and reliability of nuclear charge radii determinations by integrating complementary experimental techniques with advanced theoretical frameworks.
This study utilizes lattice effective field theory to demonstrate that while refined nuclear interactions improve zero-temperature binding and saturation properties, they also significantly lower the critical temperature of symmetric nuclear matter, establishing finite-temperature criticality as a distinct and essential benchmark for future interaction development.
This paper presents a Bayesian framework for quantifying statistical uncertainties in covariant density functional theory by sampling parameter variations and propagating posterior distributions via a subspace-projected approach, successfully reproducing observables for deformed nuclei while highlighting current limitations in describing near-spherical systems.
This paper utilizes a phenomenological spectrum shift model to demonstrate a striking correlation between average partonic transverse momentum loss and the initial energy density of the Quark-Gluon Plasma across a wide range of collision energies, while also successfully predicting high- hadron elliptic flow by coupling the model to geometric event shape estimates.
Using 39.1 kg·yr of exposure from the PandaX-4T experiment, this study presents the most precise measurement to date of the Xe two-neutrino double beta decay half-life, provides a consistent measurement of the nuclear matrix element ratio , and establishes the world's most stringent limit on Majoron-emitting modes with spectral index .
Based on the first measurement of hypertriton production in proton-proton collisions at the LHC, this study confirms the hypertriton's halo structure and estimates the hyperon's separation from its deuteron core to be approximately 9.54 fm using the nuclear coalescence framework.
The ALICE collaboration reports the first measurement of charged-particle dijet invariant mass spectra in pp and p-Pb collisions at 5.02 TeV, finding a nuclear modification factor consistent with unity that suggests the low-mass region is sensitive to subtle anti-shadowing effects currently below experimental sensitivity.
This paper presents measurements of prompt and non-prompt J/ production yields at midrapidity in 13 TeV pp collisions, revealing a stronger-than-linear increase in self-normalized yields with charged-particle multiplicity that varies depending on the azimuthal region relative to the J/ momentum.
This study reveals that the ground state of the exotic three-proton emitter Na has a significantly lower decay energy and narrower width than previously estimated, with its sequential decay pattern and systematic mirror energy differences providing strong evidence for general isospin symmetry breaking in light to medium-mass nuclei beyond the proton drip line.
This chapter provides an introductory overview of relativistic mean-field models, detailing their theoretical foundations and applications in constructing equations of state for dense neutron-rich matter to bridge nuclear experiments with astrophysical observations of neutron stars.
