Yoctosecond imaging of the ground state of Xe at the Large Hadron Collider
Giuliano Giacalone, Govert Nijs, Wilke van der Schee
Imaging a quantum many-body system requires probes that resolve the coordinates of its constituents in sufficiently large event samples, allowing measurements of correlation functi…
Microscopic Description of Critical Bubbles
Carlos Hoyos, David Mateos, Wilke van der Schee +1
First-order phase transitions occur through the nucleation of critical bubbles of the stable phase within the metastable phase. Using holography, we present a fully microscopic des…
Three models for charged hadron nuclear modification from light to heavy ions
Wilke van der Schee, Isobel Kolbé, Govert Nijs +3
In July 2025 the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) collided OO and NeNe isotopes in a quest to understand the physics of ultrarelativistic light ion collision…
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…
Testing the QCD formation time with reconstructed parton splittings
Jasmine Brewer, Wilke van der Schee, Urs Wiedemann
In high-energy elementary collisions the space-time ordering of parton branching processes is not accessible experimentally. In contrast, in heavy-ion collisions, parton showers in…
Anisotropic flow in fixed-target Pb+Ne collisions as a probe of quark-gluon plasma
Giuliano Giacalone, Wenbin Zhao, Benjamin Bally +19
The System for Measuring Overlap with Gas (SMOG2) at the LHCb detector enables the study of fixed-target ion-ion collisions at relativistic energies ( GeV…
