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…
Three Predictions for Partonic Energy Loss from Light to Heavy Ion Collisions
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…
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…
The unexpected uses of a bowling pin: exploiting Ne isotopes for precision characterizations of collectivity in small systems
Giuliano Giacalone, Benjamin Bally, Govert Nijs +16
Whether or not femto-scale droplets of quark-gluon plasma (QGP) are formed in so-called small systems at high-energy colliders is a pressing question in the phenomenology of the st…
Ultracentral heavy ion collisions, transverse momentum and the equation of state
Govert Nijs, Wilke van der Schee
Ultracentral heavy ion collisions due to their exceptionally large multiplicity probe an interesting regime of quark-gluon plasma where the size is (mostly) fixed and fluctuations…
Hard probes in isobar collisions as a probe of the neutron skin
Wilke van der Schee, Yen-Jie Lee, Govert Nijs +1
We present an estimate of the yield of hard probes expected for collisions of the isobars Ru and Zr at collision energies reachable at RHIC and the LHC\@. T…
