Two-body currents at finite momentum transfer and applications to M1 transitions

This paper presents an *ab initio* investigation into the impact of momentum-transfer-dependent two-body currents on M1 transitions in $^{48}$Ca and $^{48}$Ti, concluding that these currents affect magnetic dipole and Gamow-Teller transitions differently and thus argue against the use of a universal quenching factor.

Probing $NNΩ_{ccc}$ three-body systems with the modern QCD $NΩ_{ccc}$ interaction

In-plane transverse polarization in heavy-ion collisions

This paper provides an analytical expression and a hydrodynamic numerical study for the previously unmeasured in-plane transverse polarization ($P^x$) in heavy-ion collisions, offering a new prediction that can be experimentally tested to complete the understanding of spin phenomena.

Phenomenological constraints on QCD transport with quantified theory uncertainties

This paper utilizes a global Bayesian calibration within the JETSCAPE framework to provide uncertainty-aware constraints on the temperature-dependent shear and bulk viscosities of the quark-gluon plasma, demonstrating that quantifying theoretical model discrepancies resolves tensions between different particleization approaches.

Analysis of correlations between dipole transitions $1^-_1\rightarrow 0^+_1$ and $3^-_1\rightarrow 2^+_1$ based on the collective model

This paper uses a phenomenological collective model to demonstrate that the coupling of isovector dipole modes (giant dipole resonance) to quadrupole and octupole modes decreases the $B(E1;1^-_1\rightarrow 0^+_1)/B(E1;3^-_1\rightarrow 2^+_1)$ ratio below the 7/3 value predicted by pure quadrupole-octupole models.

Mean-field proton-neutron pairing correlations with the Gogny D1S energy density functional

This paper investigates proton-neutron pairing correlations using the Gogny D1S functional within a generalized Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov framework, finding that the functional exhibits numerical instabilities in large single-particle spaces and that self-consistent energy minima in $sd$-shell nuclei correspond to vanishing proton-neutron pairing.

Three-Body Barrier Dynamics of Double-Alpha Decay in Heavy Nuclei

By modeling double-$\alpha$ decay as a three-body problem using hyperspherical coordinates and random potential sampling, this study identifies a linear relationship between the penetrability ratio and $ZQ_{\alpha\alpha}^{-1/2}$ and proposes several heavy nuclei as primary candidates for observing this rare decay mode.

Entanglement suppression for $ΩΩ$ scattering

This paper investigates the conditions for minimizing entanglement generation in $s$-wave $\Xi\Xi$ scattering by analyzing the $S$-matrix and identifies two specific phase-shift solutions—one related to spin SU(4) symmetry and the other to nonrelativistic conformal symmetry—that suppress entanglement.

Hypernuclear constraints on $ΛN$ and $ΛNN$ interactions

This paper reviews how density-dependent optical potentials can fit $\Lambda$-hypernuclear binding energies using an attractive $\Lambda N$ interaction and a repulsive $\Lambda NN$ interaction, the latter of which provides a strength consistent with resolving the hyperon puzzle.

Flow harmonic correlations via multi-particle symmetric and asymmetric cumulants in Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 200 GeV

This paper investigates the sensitivity of multi-particle symmetric and asymmetric cumulants to shear and bulk viscosities, resonance decays, and hadronic interactions in Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 200 GeV using a hybrid hydrodynamic-transport model.
