Probing in-medium spin-orbit potential with intermediate-energy heavy-ion collisions

Jun Xu, Bao-An Li

Incorporating for the first time both the spin and isospin degrees of freedom explicitly in transport model simulations of intermediate-energy heavy-ion collisions, we observe that…

Nuclear effects in photoproduction of heavy quarks and vector mesons in ultraperipheral PbPb and pPb collisions at the LHC

Adeola Adeluyi, C. A. Bertulani, M. J. Murray

The comparison of photoproduction cross sections for and b-b(bar) in PbPb and pPb collisions can give sensitivity to nuclear shadowing effects. The photoproduction of ve…

Disentangling effects of collision geometry and symmetry energy in U+U collisions

Jun Xu, Zachary Martinot, Bao-An Li

Effects of the collision geometry on experimental observables that are known to be sensitive to the high-density behavior of nuclear symmetry energy are examined in U+U collisions…

Neutron skins and neutron stars

F. J. Fattoyev, J. Piekarewicz

Background: The neutron skin of a heavy nucleus as well as many neutron-star properties are highly sensitive to the poorly constrained density dependence of the symmetry energy. Pu…

Coulomb distortion and medium corrections in nucleon-removal reactions

M. Karakoc, A. Banu, C. A. Bertulani +1

One-nucleon removal reactions at or above the Fermi energy are important tools to explore the single-particle structure of exotic nuclei. Experimental data must be compared with ca…
