Emil Gorm Nielsen (University of Copenhagen (DK))20/06/2023, 14:00The initial stages and nuclear structure in heavy-ion collisionsOral
One of the main challenges in nuclear physics is the study of the structure of the atomic nucleus. Recently it has been shown that high-energy heavy-ion collisions, such as those at RHIC and the LHC, can serve as a complimentary study to the low-energy experiments. The heavy-ion collisions provide a snapshot of the nuclear distribution at the time of collisions, thus providing a unique,...

Atomic nuclei across the nuclide chart exhibit a wide range of collective degrees of freedom, such as quadruple, triaxial, and octupole deformations. Nuclear deformations enhance the fluctuation of harmonic flow and radial flow, increasing $v_2$, $v_3$, and mean transverse momentum $[p_{\rm T}]$. As demonstrated in recent model studies, the shape parameters can be constrained precisely from...

Zhiyong Lu (China Institute of Atomic Energy (CN))20/06/2023, 14:40The initial stages and nuclear structure in heavy-ion collisionsOral
Low-energy nuclear experiments well constrain the structure of the nuclear ground state, but whether this picture is consistent at higher energies is an open question. Geometry-driven observables such as the anisotropic flow, $v_{\rm n}$, measured in high-energy heavy-ion collisions access the spatial positions of nucleons on an event-by-event basis and provide a snapshot of the many-body...

Pragya Singh20/06/2023, 15:00The initial stages and nuclear structure in heavy-ion collisionsOral
Many atomic nuclei have a deformed intrinsic shape that affects the initial-state geometry of the related collider experiments, and hence the flow coefficients observed in the final states. We use collisions of deformed nuclei to study the connection between nuclear structure at low energy and the effective theory of high energy QCD. Along with 16O, the clustered and deformed structure of 20Ne...

Prof. Matthew William Luzum (University of São Paulo)20/06/2023, 15:20The initial stages and nuclear structure in heavy-ion collisionsOral
There is increasing interest in using high-energy collisions to study the structure of nuclei, in particular with the high-precision data made possible by collisions performed with pairs of isobaric species.

A systematic study requires a variation of parameters representing nuclear properties such as radius, skin thickness, angular deformation, and short-range correlations, to determine the...
