Multiscale imaging of nuclear deformation at the electron-ion collider

H Mäntysaari, B Schenke, C Shen, W Zhao - Physical Review Letters, 2023 - APS
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 …

Effects of nuclear structure and quantum interference on diffractive vector meson production in ultraperipheral nuclear collisions

Challenges to the Good-Walker paradigm in coherent and incoherent photoproduction

SR Klein - Physical Review C, 2023 - APS
High-energy vector meson photoproduction is an important tool for studying the partonic
