Probing the Symmetry Energy with the Spectral Pion Ratio
read the original abstract
Many neutron star (NS) properties, such as the proton fraction within a NS, reflect the symmetry energy contributions to the Equation of State that dominate when neutron and proton densities differ strongly. To constrain these contributions at supra-saturation densities, we measure the spectra of charged pions produced by colliding rare isotope tin (Sn) beams with isotopically enriched Sn targets. Using ratios of the charged pion spectra measured at high transverse momenta, we deduce the slope of the symmetry energy to be $42 < L < 117$ MeV. This value is slightly lower but consistent with the $L$ values deduced from a recent measurement of the neutron skin thickness of $^{208}$Pb.

Relaxation Kernel, Spectral Dissipation, and Global Convergence of Blahut--Arimoto Dynamics
The Blahut-Arimoto dynamics converges globally to nondegenerate stationary states because its free-energy decrease is controlled by a relaxation kernel that equals the Fisher-Rao Hessian and produces local spectral co...

Large amplification of the isospin-dependence of proton emitting source size in radioactive heavy-ion collisions: a signal of n-p correlation
Proton emitting source size is amplified by 24% in neutron-rich versus neutron-deficient tin collisions, revealing a beyond-mean-field short-range n-p correlation effect.

Femtoscopy Measurement with S$\pi$RIT TPC in Radioactive BeamHeavy-ion Collisions
A first proton-proton femtoscopy correlation function measured with the SπRIT TPC in 132Sn+124Sn collisions at 270 MeV/u shows the expected attractive-interaction peak near 20 MeV/c.

When positive and negative pairs differ in femtoscopy: residual Coulomb and isospin effects
Residual Coulomb and isospin effects produce charge-dependent splittings in identical-particle correlation functions, strongest at low kT, that modify fitted radii.
