New calculations provide insights into the dynamics of the chiral magnetic effect in heavy ion collisions.
Modeling nuclear matter in two dimensions greatly simplifies understanding interactions among “cold,” dense quarks—including in neutron stars.
The SNO+ experiment has for the first time shown that neutrinos from a nuclear reactor over 240 km away can be detected with plain water.
Spin orientation preference may point to a previously unknown influence of the strong nuclear force—and a way to measure its local fluctuations.
Physicists use a detector under an Italian mountain to search for rare nuclear processes to explain why our Universe has more matter than antimatter.
Researchers perform a global analysis of lead-lead collisions, finding that agreement with the reaction rate requires a much smaller nucleus.
Study reveals that initial state conditions set up particle flow patterns, helping zero in on key properties of matter that mimics the early universe.
Researchers have published the results from the first experiment at the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams, measurement of 5 new half-lives, in Physical Review Letters.
Scientists find a new approach to access unusual excited nuclear levels.
Theorists' hydrodynamic flow calculations accurately describe data from collisions of photons with lead nuclei at the ATLAS experiment.
Suppression of a telltale sign of quark-gluon interactions indicates gluon recombination in dense walls of gluons.
Quantum interference between dissimilar particles offers new approach for mapping gluons in nuclei, and potentially harnessing entanglement.
