Ab initio predictions link the neutron skin of Pb to nuclear forces

Baishan Hu, Weiguang Jiang, Takayuki Miyagi +8

Heavy atomic nuclei have an excess of neutrons over protons, which leads to the formation of a neutron skin whose thickness is sensitive to details of the nuclear force. This links…

Ab initio calculation of muon capture on Mg

L. Jokiniemi, T. Miyagi, S. R. Stroberg +3

In this work we study ordinary muon capture (OMC) on Mg from a first principles perspective. Starting from a particular two- and three-nucleon interaction derived from chira…

Utilization of Event Shape in Search of the Chiral Magnetic Effect in Heavy-ion Collisions

Ryan Milton, Gang Wang, Maria Sergeeva +3

The search for the chiral magnetic effect (CME) has been a subject of great interest in the field of high-energy heavy-ion collision physics, and various observables have been prop…

Ab initio structure factors for spin-dependent dark matter direct detection

B. S. Hu, J. Padua-Argüelles, S. Leutheusser +3

We present converged ab initio calculations of structure factors for elastic spin-dependent WIMP scattering off all nuclei used in dark matter direct-detection searches: F,…

The BEST framework for the search for the QCD critical point and the chiral magnetic effect

Xin An, Marcus Bluhm, Lipei Du +40

The Beam Energy Scan Theory (BEST) Collaboration was formed with the goal of providing a theoretical framework for analyzing data from the Beam Energy Scan (BES) program at the rel…

Non-conformal attractor in boost-invariant plasmas

Chandrodoy Chattopadhyay, Sunil Jaiswal, Lipei Du +2

We study the dissipative evolution of (0+1)-dimensionally expanding media with Bjorken symmetry using the Boltzmann equation for massive particles in relaxation-time approximation.…
