Evidence of Spin-Interference Effects in Exclusive Photoproduction in Ultraperipheral Heavy-Ion Collisions

The STAR Collaboration

We report the first evidence of spin interference in exclusive photoproduction in ultraperipheral heavy-ion collisions at STAR at ~GeV. In Au+…

Opportunities for Imaging Light Nuclei with a Second Interaction Region at the Electron-Ion Collider

Wan Chang, Elke-Caroline Aschenauer, Alexander Jentsch +3

The upcoming Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) will address several outstanding puzzles in modern nuclear physics. Key questions-such as the partonic structure of nucleons and nuclei and…

Measuring spin correlation between quarks during QCD confinement

The STAR Collaboration

The vacuum is now understood to possess a rich and complex structure, characterized by fluctuating energy fields and a condensate of virtual quark-antiquark pairs. The spontaneous…
