abstract

We present an estimate of the yield of hard probes expected for collisions of the isobars $^{96}_{44}$Ru and $^{96}_{40}$Zr at collision energies reachable at RHIC and the LHC\@. These yields are proportional to the number of binary nucleon-nucleon interactions, which is characteristically different due to the presence of the large neutron skin in $^{96}_{40}$Zr. This provides an independent opportunity to measure the difference between the neutron skin of $^{96}_{44}$Ru and $^{96}_{40}$Zr, which can provide an important constraint on the Equation of State of cold neutron-rich matter.

  1. Unraveling the neutron skin thickness through jet charge in deep inelastic scattering

    hep-ph 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Jet charge distributions in electron-ion collisions are shown to be sensitive to neutron skin thickness, with peripheral collisions suppressing positive jets and enhancing negative jets.
