Ab initio mapping of the boundary of the N=20N=20 island of inversion

Using an ab initio approach combining the multi-reference in-medium similarity renormalization group and the quantum-number projected generator coordinate method with chiral two- plus three-nucleon interactions, this study systematically reproduces the low-lying properties of neutron-rich nuclei around N=20N=20 and delineates the specific boundaries of the N=20N=20 island of inversion.

Probing the Three-dimension Emission Source and Neutron Skin via ππ-ππ Correlations in Heavy-Ion Collisions

This paper demonstrates that the Richardson-Lucy algorithm effectively reconstructs three-dimensional pion emission sources from heavy-ion collision data, revealing their sensitivity to the initial neutron skin thickness and establishing the method as a viable tool for probing neutron density distributions in heavy nuclei.

Shear Viscosity and Electrical Conductivity of Rotating Nuclear Medium in Hadron Resonance Gas and Nambu-Jona Lasinio Models

This paper investigates how rotation influences the anisotropic shear viscosity and electrical conductivity of strongly interacting matter by employing kinetic theory within Hadron Resonance Gas and Nambu-Jona-Lasinio models, revealing that rotation suppresses chiral condensates, generates a sizable Hall-like conductivity, and reduces transport coefficients relative to isotropic cases.

Emergence of the geometric contribution to the superfluid density in the inner crust of neutron stars

This paper clarifies the origin of the geometric contribution to the superfluid density in neutron star inner crusts by deriving its dependence on the pairing gap within a multi-band framework and demonstrating that accounting for corrections to Bogoliubov quasi-particle states, rather than just Hartree-Fock single-particle states, is essential for its emergence.

Six-αα cluster Bose-Einstein condensation and supersolid 12^{12}C($0_2^+)++^{12}C(C(0_2^+)molecularstructurein molecular structure in ^{24}$Mg

This paper demonstrates that the Superfluid α\alpha-Cluster Model, by rigorously treating Nambu-Goldstone zero modes, provides a unified description of low-spin six-α\alpha condensate states and high-spin 12^{12}C($0_2^+)+)+^{12}C(C(0_2^+)molecularresonancesin) molecular resonances in ^{24}$Mg, identifying these states as a signature of nuclear supersolidity characterized by the coexistence of superfluidity and crystallinity.

Relativistic distorted-wave analysis of the missing-energy spectrum measured with monochromatic νμν_μ-12^{12}C interactions at JSNS2^{2}

This paper analyzes the missing-energy spectrum from monochromatic neutrino-12^{12}C interactions measured by the JSNS2^2 collaboration using a relativistic distorted-wave approach with an improved spectral function, while discussing the roles of nuclear recoil, final-state interactions, and neutrino event generators in describing low-energy nuclear effects.

Physics-Embedded Bayesian Neural Network (PE-BNN) to predict Energy Dependence of Fission Product Yields with Fine Structures

This paper introduces a physics-embedded Bayesian neural network (PE-BNN) framework that integrates an energy-independent phenomenological shell factor and WAIC-based hyperparameter optimization to accurately predict energy-dependent fission product yields with fine structures and close agreement with known nuclear shell effects.

Elliptic flow of charged hadrons in d+Au collisions at sNN=\sqrt{s_{NN}} = 200 GeV using a multi-phase transport model

This study utilizes the AMPT model to demonstrate that the elliptic flow of charged hadrons in 200 GeV d+Au collisions is primarily driven by early-stage partonic interactions rather than hadronic rescattering, successfully reproducing experimental trends and highlighting the significance of parton scattering mechanisms in asymmetric collision systems.
