We present a comprehensive review of the theoretical and experimental progress in the
investigation of novel high-temperature quantum chromodynamics phenomena in small …

Atomic nuclei are self-organized, many-body quantum systems bound by strong nuclear
forces within femtometre-scale space. These complex systems manifest a variety of shapes …

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 …

The hexadecapole deformation (β 4) of the U 238 nucleus has not been determined
because its effect is overwhelmed by those from the nucleus' large quadrupole deformation …

High-energy nuclear collisions encompass three key stages: the structure of the colliding
nuclei, informed by low-energy nuclear physics, the initial condition, leading to the formation …

Azimuthal anisotropy is a key observation made in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions. This
phenomenon has played a crucial role in the development of the field over the last two …

We show within the color glass condensate framework that exclusive vector meson
production at high energy is very sensitive to the geometric deformation of the target nucleus …

We study diffractive vector meson production in ultraperipheral collisions of heavy nuclei,
utilizing a theoretical framework based on the color glass condensate formalism. We focus …

Having a detailed theoretical knowledge of the low-energy structure of the heavy odd-mass
nucleus 197 Au is of prime interest as the structure of this isotope represents an important …

In this work, we perform a model-to-data comparison for U+ U and Au+ Au collisions
performed at the BNL Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider at s NN= 193 GeV and 200 GeV using …
