Shaping the Mantle: The Role of Superheated Core After Giant Impacts
You Zhou
The Moon-forming giant impact significantly influenced the initial thermal state of Earth's mantle by generating a global magma ocean, marking the onset of mantle evolution. Recent…
Topical issue on the intersection of low-energy nuclear structure and high-energy nuclear collisions
T. Duguet, G. Giacalone, V. Somà +1
High-energy heavy-ion physics and low-energy nuclear structure physics have historically been disconnected fields. The hydrodynamic description of the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) requ…

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…
Signature of the -clustering structure of Light Nuclei in Relativistic Nuclear Collisions
Zhiyong Lu, Mingrui Zhao, Emil Gorm Dahlbæk Nielsen +2
The "imaging-by-smashing" technique has been developed recently in relativistic nuclear collisions. By smashing heavy nuclei at RHIC and the LHC and analyzing the anisotropic expan…
Exploring the Nuclear Shape Phase Transition in Ultra-Relativistic Xe+Xe Collisions at the LHC
Shujun Zhao, Hao-jie Xu, You Zhou +2
The shape phase transition for certain isotope or isotone chains, associated with the quantum phase transition of finite nuclei, is an intriguing phenomenon in nuclear physics. A n…
