We review the theoretical and experimental progress in the Glauber model of multiple nucleon and/or parton scatterings, after the last 10--15 years of operation with proton and nuclear beams at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and with various light and heavy colliding ions at the BNL Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). The main developments and the state-of-the-art of the field are summarized. These encompass measurements of the inclusive inelastic proton and nuclear cross sections, advances in the description of the proton and nuclear density profiles and their fluctuations, inclusion of subnucleonic degrees of freedom, experimental procedures and issues related to the determination of the collision centrality, validation of the binary scaling prescription for hard scattering cross sections, and constraints on transport properties of quark-gluon matter from varying initial-state conditions in relativistic hydrodynamics calculations. These advances confirm the validity and usefulness of the Glauber formalism for quantitative studies of QCD matter produced in high-energy collisions of systems, from protons to uranium nuclei, of vastly different size.

  1. System-size dependence of charged-particle suppression in ultrarelativistic nucleus-nucleus collisions

    nucl-ex 2026-02 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    First neon-neon R_AA measurement shows charged-particle suppression increasing monotonically with nuclear size across oxygen, neon, xenon, and lead at LHC energies.

  2. Momentum fraction and hard scale dependence of double parton scattering in heavy-ion collisions

    hep-ph 2026-03 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Model predicts final-state-dependent DPS effective cross sections in pPb and PbPb collisions, potentially turning heavy-ion DPS into a probe of transverse hadron and nuclear structure.

  3. Measurement of the $\gamma\gamma \to \tau \tau$ cross section and constraints on the anomalous magnetic moment of the $\tau$ lepton in ultraperipheral PbPb collisions at $\sqrt{s_\mathrm{NN}}$ = 5.02 TeV

    nucl-ex 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    CMS measures gamma-gamma -> tau+tau- in PbPb UPCs and constrains the tau anomalous magnetic moment to -0.039 < a_tau < 0.032 (95% CL), with a fiducial cross-section of 555+60-14 microbarns.

  4. Resolution-matched nuclear geometry and the nucleon-size ambiguity in relativistic heavy-ion collisions

    nucl-th 2026-02 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    The strong nucleon-width dependence of the Pb+Pb hadronic cross section is a geometric-inflation artifact; with the folded density fixed, σ_AA is width-insensitive and can constrain the 208Pb neutron skin to Δr_np ∈ [...

  5. Nuclear Physics Confronts Relativistic Collisions Of Isobars

    nucl-ex 2025-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    RHIC isobar data are explained by different shapes of 96Ru and 96Zr, with 96Zr showing a large octupole deformation, so nuclear structure uncertainty, not the magnetic field, dominates the observed ratios.

  6. Energy loss baseline for light hadrons in oxygen-oxygen collisions at $\sqrt{s_\mathrm{NN}}=5.36\,\text{TeV}$

    hep-ph 2025-09 accept novelty 4.0 of 10

    The no-quenching baseline for R_AA in OO collisions at 5.36 TeV is predicted to be under control to about 5% for hadron transverse momenta from 20 to 70 GeV.

  7. Investigating effects of the electrical conductivity of QCD matter on charge-dependent directed flow

    nucl-th 2025-02 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Using 3+1D resistive magnetohydrodynamics, the authors show that the slope of proton-antiproton charge-dependent directed flow in Au+Au collisions at 200 GeV varies with the QGP's electrical conductivity and can chang...
