Nucl-Ex represents the dynamic frontier where scientists probe the fundamental building blocks of matter through high-energy experiments. By smashing particles together at incredible speeds or observing rare cosmic events, researchers uncover the forces that govern our universe and test the limits of our current understanding of physics.
At Gist.Science, we ensure these breakthroughs reach a broader audience by processing every new preprint in this field directly from arXiv. For each study, we provide both a clear, plain-language explanation of the core discoveries and a detailed technical summary for those seeking deeper insights. Below are the latest papers in nuclear experiment research, curated to help you stay informed on the latest developments from the lab.
The ALICE collaboration presents the first event-by-event measurement of probability distributions for strange-hadron multiplicities in proton-proton collisions at 5.02 TeV, providing a novel test of strangeness production mechanisms that extends beyond mean yields to probe large imbalances between strange and non-strange content.
The ATLAS experiment presents measurements of charged-particle pseudorapidity and transverse momentum distributions in O+O and Ne+Ne collisions at TeV, characterizing these observables across various centrality intervals and comparing the results with hydrodynamic calculations.
The ATLAS experiment observed a centrality-dependent dijet transverse momentum imbalance in O+O and Ne+Ne collisions at = 5.36 TeV, providing evidence for medium-induced partonic energy loss and establishing a new regime for studying quark-gluon plasma effects in small collision systems.
This paper proposes a solution to the long-standing gallium anomaly by revising the theoretical calculation of the neutrino capture cross-section on Ga, demonstrating that moving beyond standard leptonic wave function factorization and incorporating constrained Gamow-Teller transition densities can resolve the observed deficit without invoking new physics.
This paper proposes a quantum information-inspired framework where spin entanglement in quark-antiquark pairs created from the QCD vacuum undergoes decoherence via string breaking during hadronization, successfully explaining hyperon spin-correlation data from RHIC and the LHC.
This study demonstrates that the pronounced nonmonotonic peak in the triple binding energy difference () observed in the Zr isotope serves as a distinct experimental signature of tetrahedral nuclear symmetry, a structural feature that cannot be reproduced by conventional quadrupole or triaxial mean-field models.
Using ATLAS data from 5.02 TeV $pp$ and Pb+Pb collisions, this paper presents a measurement of isolated photon plus two-jet correlations that reveals significant suppression of two-jet yields in heavy-ion collisions due to parton-medium interactions, with results compared against three jet quenching models.
Using calibration data from the XENONnT detector, this study presents the most precise direct measurements to date of the ground-state decay branching ratios for and , thereby significantly improving background modeling for rare-event searches like dark matter and neutrino experiments.
This paper presents an optimized digital filtering algorithm for cryogenic detectors that significantly reduces pile-up induced background in neutrinoless double beta decay searches by 31% compared to previous methods, while maintaining high signal efficiency.
This paper presents the first observation of hyperon polarization along the beam axis relative to the third-order event plane in Pb-Pb collisions at TeV, providing new constraints on the bulk and shear viscosities of the quark-gluon plasma through comparisons with hydrodynamic calculations.
