Signatures of $\alpha$ clustering in ultra-relativistic collisions with light nuclei

Maciej Rybczyński, Milena Piotrowska, Wojciech Broniowski

We explore possible observable signatures of $\alpha$ clustering of light nuclei in ultra-relativistic nuclear collisions involving ${}^{7,9}$Be, ${}^{12}$C, and ${}^{16}$O. The cluster…
