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.

Below are the latest papers in nuclear experiment research, curated to help you stay informed on the latest developments from the lab.
This paper presents the first measurement of transverse momentum-dependent radial flow fluctuations in Pb+Pb collisions using the ATLAS detector, providing experimental evidence for the collective nature of radial flow and demonstrating its sensitivity to the quark-gluon plasma's bulk viscosity.
This paper challenges the common assumption that nuclear modifications do not exist in the longitudinal-transverse structure-function ratio by demonstrating theoretically and numerically that nucleon transverse motion within nuclei induces such modifications, particularly in medium- and large- regions, which are crucial for precise nucleon structure function determination and future investigations of gluon dynamics.
This paper presents a robust Bayesian method for measuring proton beam energy at a medical cyclotron using the stacked foil technique and V activity, demonstrating its accuracy, uncertainty handling, and suitability for diverse experimental conditions without relying on direct charge measurements.
This paper demonstrates that transverse momentum conservation is the key mechanism responsible for the breakdown of azimuthal correlation factorization in small systems, successfully explaining CMS p-Pb data and establishing a sign rule where deviations from unity alternate in sign based on harmonic order.
This paper details the design and construction of the watertight optical modules for BUTTON-30, a neutrino detector demonstrator located in the STFC Boulby underground facility that aims to test gadolinium-loaded water-based liquid scintillator for future large-volume observatories and nuclear reactor monitoring.
This study investigates the structural effects of , , and mesons on Be nuclei using HAL QCD potentials and the Gaussian expansion method, revealing that the meson strongly binds the system into stable states while and interactions are weaker and form only shallow bound states, with specific predictions for new -charmonium bound states and the non-Borromean nature of .
Following the successful acceleration of molecular H beams in the Booster, this paper proposes testing their acceleration to higher energies in the AGS and RHIC while analyzing potential challenges and the associated benefits for BNL.
This paper provides a brief overview of tensor-polarized parton distribution functions for spin-1 hadrons, covering leading-twist structure functions, gluon transversity, higher-twist distributions, and related transverse-momentum-dependent functions up to twist 4 in the context of upcoming deuteron experiments.
This paper theoretically demonstrates and numerically calculates that nuclear modifications to the longitudinal-transverse structure function ratio in the deuteron, arising from transverse Fermi motion, are of the order of a few percent and should be accounted for in high-energy nuclear data analysis and future experimental investigations.
This paper analyzes the capture in the Li reaction using an effective operator to demonstrate that isoscalar transitions are forbidden without initial state distortion and that the dominant contribution arises from transitions to isospin 1 components, offering a potential explanation for discrepancies in reported -factors.
