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…
New constraints on equation of state of hot QCD matter
Lu-Meng Liu, Jinhui Chen, Xu-Guang Huang +3
The longitudinal structure of the quark-gluon plasma(QGP) remains a key challenge in heavy-ion physics. In this Letter, we propose a novel observable, event-by-event mean transvers…
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…
Scaling approach to rigid and soft nuclear deformation through flow fluctuations in high-energy nuclear collisions
Lumeng Liu, Chunjian Zhang, Jinhui Chen +3
The nature of octupole deformation, whether static or vibrational, remains an open question in nuclear physics. Here, we propose a scaling approach to probe this ambiguity by trian…
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…
Symmetric-asymmetric collision comparison: disentangling nuclear structure and subnucleonic structure effects for small system flow
Shengli Huang, Jiangyong Jia, Chunjian Zhang
Previous flow measurements in small collision systems were mostly based on highly asymmetric collisions (+Pb, +Au, +Au, He+Au), where both nuclear structure and subn…
Imprints of octupole collectivity in uranium-238 on relativistic heavy-ion flow observables
Chunjian Zhang, Jiangyong Jia, Jinhui Chen +2
Some atomic nuclei exhibit enhanced octupole collectivity, reflected in finite reflection-asymmetric multipole correlations rather than necessarily in a rigid static pear-shaped gr…
High-order fluctuations of temperature in hot QCD matter
Jinhui Chen, Wei-jie Fu, Shi Yin +1
A new thermodynamic state function is introduced to describe the thermodynamics relevant for the mean transverse momentum fluctuations of charged particles in heavy-ion collisions,…
Directly probing existence of -cluster structure in Ne by relativistic heavy-ion collisions
Lu-Meng Liu, Hai-Cheng Wang, Song-Jie Li +5
Can relativistic heavy-ion collisions only probe the global shape of colliding nuclei, or their detailed internal structure as well? Taking Ne as an example, we attempt to d…
Energy dependence of transverse momentum fluctuations in Au+Au collisions from a multiphase transport model
Liuyao Zhang, Jinhui Chen, Chunjian Zhang
Event-by-event mean transverse momentum fluctuations () serve as a sensitive probe of initial state overlap geometry and energy density fluctuations in…
Validation and extrapolation of atomic mass with physics-informed fully connected neural network
Yiming Huang, Jinhui Chen, Jiangyong Jia +3
Machine learning offers a powerful framework for validating and predicting atomic mass. We compare three improved neural network methods for representation and extrapolation for at…
