Projective Imaging of High-Energy Nuclei via Coherent Exclusive Vector Meson Production in Electron-Nucleus Collisions
Maci Kesler, Ashik Ikbal Sheikh, Rongrong Ma +3
One of the major goals of modern nuclear experiments is to study the distributions of gluons inside nuclei at high energy. A key measurement is the coherent exclusive vector meson…
Synergies between a U.S.-based Electron-Ion Collider and European Research in Particle Physics
Stefan Diehl, Raphaël Dupré, Olga Evdokimov +10
This document is submitted as input to the European Strategy for Particle Physics Update (ESPPU). The U.S.-based Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) aims at understanding how the complex d…
Beam energy dependence of net-hyperon yield and its implication on baryon transport mechanism
Chun Yuen Tsang, Rongrong Ma, Prithwish Tribedy +1
In the constituent quark model, each quark inside a baryon carries 1/3 unit of the baryon number. An alternative picture exists where the center of a Y-shaped topology of gluon fie…
Search for baryon junctions in photonuclear processes and isobar collisions at RHIC
Nicole Lewis, Wendi Lv, Mason Alexander Ross +7
During the early development of Quantum Chromodynamics, it was proposed that baryon number could be carried by a non-perturbative Y-shaped topology of gluon fields, called the gluo…
Contribution of coherent electron production to measurements of heavy-flavor decayed electrons in heavy-ion collisions
Shenghui Zhang, Rongrong Ma, Yuanjing Ji +4
Heavy quarks, produced at early stages of heavy-ion collisions, are an excellent probe of the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP) also created in these collisions. Electrons from open heavy-f…
