Imaging Shapes of Atomic Nuclei in High-Energy Nuclear Collisions
STAR Collaboration
Atomic nuclei are self-organized, many-body quantum systems bound by strong nuclear forces within femtometer-scale space. These complex systems manifest a variety of shapes, tradit…

Tracking the baryon number with nuclear collisions
STAR Collaboration
Baryon quantum number is believed to be conserved since baryogenesis in the early Universe. While fractionally charged valence quarks are understood conventionally to each carry a…

Observation of the Antimatter Hypernucleus
STAR Collaboration, M. I. Abdulhamid, B. E. Aboona +350
At the origin of the Universe, asymmetry between the amount of created matter and antimatter led to the matter-dominated Universe as we know today. The origins of this asymmetry re…
