Nuclear collectivity and the harmonic spectrum of two-body correlations
Jean-Paul Blaizot, Giuliano Giacalone, Alessandro Lovato
High-energy nuclear collisions have opened a new experimental method to reveal collective behavior in nuclear ground states through the lens of many-body correlations of nucleons.…
Topical issue on the intersection of low-energy nuclear structure and high-energy nuclear collisions
T. Duguet, G. Giacalone, V. Somà +1
High-energy heavy-ion physics and low-energy nuclear structure physics have historically been disconnected fields. The hydrodynamic description of the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) requ…
The size of the quark-gluon plasma in ultracentral collisions: impact of initial density fluctuations on the average transverse momentum
Fabian Zhou, Giuliano Giacalone, Jean-Yves Ollitrault
Recent experiments have shown that the mean transverse momentum of outgoing particles increases as a function of the particle multiplicity in ultracentral nucl…
Initial spin fluctuations in heavy-ion collisions and where to find them
Giuliano Giacalone, Enrico Speranza
Collective spin phenomena in the final states of heavy-ion collisions are typically understood to originate from vorticity and shear in the quark-gluon plasma. Here, we ask whether…
Few is different: deciphering many-body dynamics in mesoscopic quantum gases
Juergen Berges, Sandra Brandstetter, Jasmine Brewer +27
Emergent macroscopic descriptions of matter, such as hydrodynamics, are central to our description of complex physical systems across a wide spectrum of energy scales. The conventi…
Nuclear Physics Confronts Relativistic Collisions Of Isobars
Giuliano Giacalone, Jiangyong Jia, Vittorio Somà +43
High-energy collisions involving the isobars Zr and Ru have been performed in 2018 at Brookhaven National Laboratory's Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) a…
Angular structure of many-body correlations in atomic nuclei: From nuclear deformations to diffractive vector meson production in collisions
Jean-Paul Blaizot, Giuliano Giacalone
There is growing evidence that high-energy scattering processes involving nuclei can offer unique insights into the many-body correlations present in nuclear ground states, in part…
Revealing the harmonic structure of nuclear two-body correlations in high-energy heavy-ion collisions
Thomas Duguet, Giuliano Giacalone, Sangyong Jeon +1
Smashing nuclei at ultrarelativistic speeds and analyzing the momentum distribution of outgoing debris provides a powerful method to probe the many-body properties of the incoming…
Initial-state-driven spin correlations in high-energy nuclear collisions
Giuliano Giacalone, Enrico Speranza
In the study of spin-polarization phenomena in heavy-ion collisions, it is typically assumed that final-state particles are polarized through thermal vorticity and shear. In this s…
Benchmarking nuclear matrix elements of decay with high-energy nuclear collisions
Yi Li, Xin Zhang, Giuliano Giacalone +1
Reducing uncertainties in the nuclear matrix elements (NMEs) remains a critical challenge in designing and interpreting experiments aimed at discovering neutrinoless double beta ($…
