Probing Quantum Numbers and Decay Branching Ratios of Exotic States via Entanglement-Enabled Spin Interference
Di Zhang, Zhangbu Xu, Chi Yang
Ultra-peripheral heavy-ion collisions (UPCs) coherently photo-produce vector mesons through two spatially separated and quantum-mechanically indistinguishable production sites, who…
Production of muonic kaon atoms at high-energy colliders
Xiaofeng Wang, Zebo Tang, Zhangbu Xu +3
We develop a framework for the formation of exotic muonic kaon atoms () in semileptonic decays, using the effective weak Hamiltonian, a helicity-based treatment of the…
Measure charge transport in high-energy nuclear collisions with an energy scan of isobaric collisions
Wendi Lv, Niseem Magdy, Rongrong Ma +4
We present a method to measure electric-charge transport in high-energy nuclear collisions using a beam-energy scan of isobaric systems. Comparing collisions of nuclei with identic…
Chemical potential differentials in the QCD phase diagram from heavy-ion isobar collisions
Joaquin Grefa, Chun Yue Tsang, Rajesh Kumar +3
Temperature and baryon, charge, and strangeness chemical potentials characterize QCD matter under extreme conditions. Differences between these chemical potentials and their ratios…
Understanding baryon stopping at the BNL Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider top energies
Niseem Magdy, Prithwish Tribedy, Chun Yuen Tsang +1
The nucleon exhibits a rich internal structure governed by Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), where its electric charge arises from valence quarks, while its spin and mass emerge from c…
Projective Imaging of High-Energy Nuclei via Coherent Exclusive Vector Meson Production in Electron-Nucleus Collisions
Maci Kesler, Ashik Ikbal Sheikh, Rongrong Ma +3
One of the major goals of modern nuclear experiments is to study the distributions of gluons inside nuclei at high energy. A key measurement is the coherent exclusive vector meson…
