How many particles do make a fluid? Qualifying collective behavior in expanding ultracold gases
Stefan Floerchinger, Giuliano Giacalone, Lars H. Heyen +1
Collective phenomena in quantum many-body systems are often described in terms of hydrodynamics, an appropriate framework when the involved particle numbers are effectively macrosc…
Constraining the nucleon size with relativistic nuclear collisions
Giuliano Giacalone, Björn Schenke, Chun Shen
The notion of the "size" of nucleons and their constituents plays a pivotal role in the current paradigm of the formation and the fluctuations of the quark-gluon plasma produced in…
Evidence of the triaxial structure of Xe at the Large Hadron Collider
Benjamin Bally, Michael Bender, Giuliano Giacalone +1
The interpretation of the emergent collective behaviour of atomic nuclei in terms of deformed intrinsic shapes [1] is at the heart of our understanding of the rich phenomenology of…
The impact of nuclear deformation on relativistic heavy-ion collisions: assessing consistency in nuclear physics across energy scales
Giuliano Giacalone, Jiangyong Jia, Chunjian Zhang
In the hydrodynamic framework of heavy-ion collisions, elliptic flow, , is sensitive to the quadrupole deformation, , of the colliding ions. This enables one to test whethe…
Manipulating strong electromagnetic fields with the average transverse momentum of relativistic nuclear collisions
Giuliano Giacalone, Chun Shen
We show that an event-shape engineering based on the mean transverse momentum of charged hadrons, , provides an optimal handle on the strength of the magnetic field created…
Accessing the shape of atomic nuclei with relativistic collisions of isobars
Giuliano Giacalone, Jiangyong Jia, Vittorio Somà
Nuclides sharing the same mass number (isobars) are observed ubiquitously along the stability line. While having nearly identical radii, stable isobars can differ in shape, and pre…
A matter of shape: seeing the deformation of atomic nuclei at high-energy colliders
Giuliano Giacalone
This work establishes a deep connection between two seemingly distant branches of nuclear physics: nuclear structure and relativistic heavy-ion collisions. At the heart of this con…
