We developed a Monte Carlo event generator for production of nucleon configurations in complex nuclei consistently including effects of Nucleon-Nucleon (NN) correlations. Our approach is based on the Metropolis search for configurations satisfying essential constraints imposed by short- and long-range NN correlations, guided by the findings of realistic calculations of one- and two-body densities for medium-heavy nuclei. The produced event generator can be used for Monte Carlo (MC) studies of pA and AA collisions. We perform several tests of consistency of the code and comparison with previous models, in the case of high energy proton-nucleus scattering on an event-by-event basis, using nucleus configurations produced by our code and Glauber multiple scattering theory both for the uncorrelated and the correlated configurations; fluctuations of the average number of collisions are shown to be affected considerably by the introduction of NN correlations in the target nucleus. We also use the generator to estimate maximal possible gluon nuclear shadowing in a simple geometric model.

  1. Schr\"{o}dinger Generator for High-Dimensional Integration and Sampling on Quantum Many-Body States

    nucl-th 2026-08 reject novelty 6.0 of 10

    A two-stage sampler (adaptive marginal map plus normalizing flow, then resampling) is proposed and shown on model nuclear densities up to D=624, though a core Jacobian equation appears sign-inconsistent.

  2. Impacts of isolated nucleon-nucleon correlations in relativistic $^{16}$O+$^{16}$O collisions

    nucl-th 2025-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Applying rejection sampling to 16O configurations constrained by a Fermi density and a two-nucleon distance distribution reproduces the initial-state eccentricities and energy fluctuations of NLEFT and VMC ab-initio m...

    hep-ph 2024-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Event-by-event simulations show elliptic flow in heavy and light ion collisions follows a universal opacity-dependent response curve; hydrodynamics is accurate only above opacity around 3, and oxygen collisions expose...

  4. Influence of the neutron-skin effect on nuclear isobar collisions at RHIC

    nucl-th 2019-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Including the neutron skin of zirconium in isobar collision simulations halves the predicted Ru/Zr magnetic-field strength difference from 10% to 5% in peripheral events.

  5. Study the Longitudinal Entropy Deposition using d+Au Collision

    nucl-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A 3D entropy deposition model with β≈0.35 and n_BC-dependent rapidity loss, plus ab initio deuteron sampling, reproduces d+Au dNch/dη, spectra, and vn and transfers to p+Au, 3He+Au, and Au+Au.

  6. 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.
