In the hydrodynamic model description of heavy-ion collisions, the elliptic flow v 2 and
triangular flow v 3 are sensitive to the quadrupole deformation β 2 and octupole deformation …

Emergent bulk properties of matter governed by the strong nuclear force give rise to physical
phenomena across vastly different scales, ranging from the shape of atomic nuclei to the …

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 …

State-of-the-art hydrodynamic simulations of the quark-gluon plasma are unable to
reproduce the elliptic flow of particles observed at the BNL Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider …

Halo phenomena have long been an important frontier in both experimental and theoretical
nuclear physics. 37 Mg was identified as a halo nucleus in 2014 and remains the heaviest …

Most atomic nuclei are deformed with a quadrupole shape described by its overall strength β
2 and triaxiality γ. The deformation can be accessed in high-energy heavy ion collisions by …

The halo phenomenon in exotic nuclei has long been an important frontier in nuclear
physics research since its discovery in 1985. In parallel with the experimental progress in …

Bulk nuclear structure properties, such as radii and deformations, leave distinct signatures in
the final state of relativistic heavy-ion collisions. Isobaric collisions offer an easy route to …
