The nuclear equation of state (EOS) is at the center of numerous theoretical and
experimental efforts in nuclear physics. With advances in microscopic theories for nuclear …

Recent studies based on lattice Monte Carlo simulations of quantum chromodynamics
(QCD)—the theory of strong interactions—have demonstrated that at high temperature there …

The theory governing the strong nuclear force—quantum chromodynamics—predicts that at
sufficiently high energy densities, hadronic nuclear matter undergoes a deconfinement …

This White Paper presents the science case of an Electron-Ion Collider (EIC), focused on the
structure and interactions of gluon-dominated matter, with the intent to articulate it to the …

We introduce a new parametric initial-condition model for high-energy nuclear collisions
based on eikonal entropy deposition via a “reduced-thickness” function. The model …

We review collective flow, its anisotropies, and its event-to-event fluctuations in relativistic
heavy-ion collisions, as well as the extraction of the specific shear viscosity of quark–gluon …

The first evidence of spin alignment of vector mesons (K* 0 and ϕ) in heavy-ion collisions at
the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is reported. The spin density matrix element ρ 00 is …

The physics programme and the design are described of a new collider for particle and
nuclear physics, the Large Hadron Electron Collider (LHeC), in which a newly built electron …

We investigate the consequences of a nonzero bulk viscosity coefficient on the transverse
momentum spectra, azimuthal momentum anisotropy, and multiplicity of charged hadrons …

We study the rotational collective motion of the quark-gluon plasma in relativistic heavy-ion
collisions using the widely adopted a multiphase transport (AMPT) model. The global …
