Report on Progress in Physics: Observation of the Breit-Wheeler Process and Vacuum Birefringence in Heavy-Ion Collisions
James Daniel Brandenburg, Janet Seger, Zhangbu Xu +1
This Report reviews the effort over several decades to observe the linear Breit-Wheeler process () and vacuum birefringence in high-energy particle and heavy-…
Exploring gluon tomography with polarization dependent diffractive J/ production
James Daniel Brandenburg, Zhangbu Xu, Wangmei Zha +3
We study azimuthal asymmetries in diffractive J/ production in ultraperipheral heavy-ion collisions at RHIC and LHC energies using the color glass condensate effective theory. O…
Production of light antinuclei in collisions by dynamical coalescence and their fluxes in cosmic rays near earth
Tianhao Shao, Jinhui Chen, Yu-Gang Ma +1
Light antinucleus yields are calculated in a multiphase transport model (AMPT) coupled with a dynamical coalescence model. The model is tuned to reproduce the transverse momentum a…
Search for baryon junctions in photonuclear processes and isobar collisions at RHIC
Nicole Lewis, Wendi Lv, Mason Alexander Ross +7
During the early development of Quantum Chromodynamics, it was proposed that baryon number could be carried by a non-perturbative Y-shaped topology of gluon fields, called the gluo…
Mapping the Electromagnetic Fields of Heavy-Ion Collisions with the Breit-Wheeler Process
James Daniel Brandenburg, Wangmei Zha, Zhangbu Xu
Ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions are expected to produce the strongest electromagnetic fields in the known Universe. These highly-Lorentz contracted fields can manifest them…
New opportunities at the photon energy frontier
Jaroslav Adam, Christine Aidala, Aaron Angerami +72
Ultra-peripheral collisions (UPCs) involving heavy ions and protons are the energy frontier for photon-mediated interactions. UPC photons can be used for many purposes, including p…
