Evidence for modest octupole deformation in U from high-energy heavy-ion collisions

Chunjian Zhang

We present a novel ``imaging-by-smashing" approach for probing nuclear deformation in high-energy heavy-ion collisions. By analyzing anisotropic-flow () and mean transverse mo…

Imaging shapes of ground-state uranium-238 nuclei in high-energy nuclear collisions at RHIC

Chunjian Zhang

The shape and orientation of colliding nuclei play a crucial role in determining the initial conditions of the quark-gluon plasma (QGP), which influence key observables such as ani…

Imaging the structure of atomic nuclei in high-energy nuclear collisions from STAR experiment

Chunjian Zhang

In relativistic heavy-ion collisions, the extractions of properties of quark-gluon plasma (QGP) are hindered by a limited understanding of its initial conditions, where the nuclear…

An overview of new measurements of flow, chirality, and vorticity from STAR experiment

Chunjian Zhang

In relativistic heavy-ion collisions, the properties of quark-gluon plasma (QGP) and complex dynamics of multi-scale processes in Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) are studied by analyz…
