Identifying -cluster configurations in Ne via ultracentral Ne+Ne Collisions
Pei Li, Bo Zhou, Guo-Liang Ma
The initial-state geometry in relativistic heavy-ion collisions provides a novel probe to nuclear cluster structure. For Ne, a novel approach is proposed to distinguish betw…

Universal imprinting of short-range correlations in relativistic heavy-ion collisions
Pei Li, Kai-Jia Sun, Bo Zhou +1
Protons and neutrons within atomic nuclei undergo intense and fleeting encounters driven by the strong force at short distances. These interactions generate close-proximity pairs,…

Fluctuations and correlations of quark spin in hot and dense QCD matter
Hao-Lei Chen, Wei-jie Fu, Xu-Guang Huang +1
In this work, we examine the impact of QCD phase transitions on the quark spin fluctuations and correlations. We propose the quark-antiquark correlation, which relates to the vecto…
