abstract

UU collisions can provide about 30% larger densities compared to central PbPb ones. New aspect is generation of rather deformed initial states. We show that those can be effectively used to resolve a number of outstanding issues, from corrections to hard processes, elliptic flow (the QGP push issue), and the mechanism of $J/\psi$ suppression. UU collisions are studied by a simple Monte-Carlo model, and it is shown how selecting two control parameters - the number of participant nuclei and deformation - one can select particular geometry of the collision.

  1. Scaling approach to rigid and soft nuclear deformation through flow fluctuations in high-energy nuclear collisions

    nucl-th 2025-09 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Triangular flow four-particle cumulants scale linearly with the fourth moment of octupole deformation, allowing the mean and variance of 238U octupole deformation to be extracted separately.

  2. 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.
