Entanglement Enabled Intensity Interferometry in ultrarelativistic ultraperipheral nuclear collisions
James Daniel Brandenburg, Haowu Duan, Zhoudunming Tu +2
An important tool in studying the sub-femtoscale spacetime structure of matter in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions is Hanbury-Brown-Twiss (HBT) intensity interferometry of id…
The Present and Future of QCD
P. Achenbach, D. Adhikari, A. Afanasev +400
This White Paper presents the community inputs and scientific conclusions from the Hot and Cold QCD Town Meeting that took place September 23-25, 2022 at MIT, as part of the Nuclea…
Report on Progress in Physics: Observation of the Breit-Wheeler Process and Vacuum Birefringence in Heavy-Ion Collisions
James Daniel Brandenburg, Janet Seger, Zhangbu Xu +1
This Report reviews the effort over several decades to observe the linear Breit-Wheeler process () and vacuum birefringence in high-energy particle and heavy-…
Exploring gluon tomography with polarization dependent diffractive J/ production
James Daniel Brandenburg, Zhangbu Xu, Wangmei Zha +3
We study azimuthal asymmetries in diffractive J/ production in ultraperipheral heavy-ion collisions at RHIC and LHC energies using the color glass condensate effective theory. O…
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…
Pattern of Global Spin Alignment of and mesons in Heavy-Ion Collisions
STAR Collaboration, M. S. Abdallah, B. E. Aboona +379
Notwithstanding decades of progress since Yukawa first developed a description of the force between nucleons in terms of meson exchange, a full understanding of the strong interact…
Mapping the Electromagnetic Fields of Heavy-Ion Collisions with the Breit-Wheeler Process
James Daniel Brandenburg, Wangmei Zha, Zhangbu Xu
Ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions are expected to produce the strongest electromagnetic fields in the known Universe. These highly-Lorentz contracted fields can manifest them…
New opportunities at the photon energy frontier
Jaroslav Adam, Christine Aidala, Aaron Angerami +72
Ultra-peripheral collisions (UPCs) involving heavy ions and protons are the energy frontier for photon-mediated interactions. UPC photons can be used for many purposes, including p…
Exploring the double-slit interference with linearly polarized photons
Wangmei Zha, James Daniel Brandenburg, Lijuan Ruan +2
The linearly polarized quasi-real photons from the highly Lorentz-contracted Coulomb fields of relativistic heavy ions can fluctuate to quark-antiquark pairs, scatter off a target…
Acoplanarity of QED pairs accompanied by nuclear dissociation in ultra-peripheral heavy ion collisions
James Daniel Brandenburg, Wei Li, Lijuan Ruan +4
This paper investigates the transverse momentum broadening effect for electromagnetic production of dileptons in ultra-peripheral heavy ion collisions accompanied by nuclear dissoc…
