Bayesian methods are used to constrain the density dependence of the QCD Equation of State (EoS) for dense nuclear matter using the data of mean transverse kinetic energy and elliptic flow of protons from heavy ion collisions (HIC), in the beam energy range $\sqrt{s_{\mathrm{NN}}}=2-10 GeV$. The analysis yields tight constraints on the density dependent EoS up to 4 times the nuclear saturation density. The extracted EoS yields good agreement with other observables measured in HIC experiments and constraints from astrophysical observations both of which were not used in the inference. The sensitivity of inference to the choice of observables is also discussed.

Correlation between nuclear isospin asymmetry and $\alpha$-particle preformation probability for superheavy nuclei from a Bayesian inference
Bayesian MCMC fitting of a phenomenological model reveals that isospin asymmetry strongly suppresses alpha preformation probability in superheavy nuclei while reproducing shell effects and experimental half-lives.
