EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Defining the proton radius: A unified treatment

Gerald A. Miller

Phys. Rev. C 99, 035202 (2019) - Published 7 March, 2019

An analysis of the proton radius puzzle helps to define what the proton radius really means.

Establishing the geometry of $α$ clusters in ${}^{12}C$ through patterns of polarized $γ$ rays

Lorenzo Fortunato

Phys. Rev. C 99, 031302(R) (2019) - Published 11 March, 2019

For decades physicists have speculated if $^{12}$ C could be understood in terms of a cluster arrangement of three $α$ particles. This paper suggests a novel experimental way to test these ideas, using polarized $γ$ rays, as for example in the new EU-funded facility, the Extreme Light Infrastructure or ELI. The work should stimulate both theory and experiment, and possibly address long-standing ideas about clustering in light nuclei.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Natural orbitals for ab initio no-core shell model calculations

Alexander Tichai, Julius Müller, Klaus Vobig, and Robert Roth

Phys. Rev. C 99, 034321 (2019) - Published 19 March, 2019

Researchers have long argued over the best basis for nuclear structure calculations. The authors apply natural orbitals, single-particle states that diagonalize the one-body density matrix, to $a b$ $i n i t i o$ calculations in the no-core shell model. For binding energies and other physical observables they find dramatic improvement in both convergence and independence from the choice of the underlying harmonic oscillator basis. This helps reduce the uncertainty in the final results and makes comparison to experiment more robust.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Impact of magnetic-field fluctuations on measurements of the chiral magnetic effect in collisions of isobaric nuclei

Xin-Li Zhao, Guo-Liang Ma, and Yu-Gang Ma

Phys. Rev. C 99, 034903 (2019) - Published 14 March, 2019

Colliding relativistic heavy ions can create a strong magnetic field. The authors perform theoretical calculations of the initial electromagnetic field in collisions of isobaric nuclei at RHIC. They determine which observable correlations are most sensitive to the so-called chiral magnetic effect, which results from the characteristics of the axial charge density in a strong magnetic field. The results address a long-standing problem in the field.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Femtoscopy of stopped protons

Andrzej Bialas, Adam Bzdak, and Volker Koch

Phys. Rev. C 99, 034906 (2019) - Published 15 March, 2019

As the beam energy increases colliding nuclei are expected to become more transparent to each other, with not only fewer baryons in the central rapidity region, but even possibly separated in the configuration space. This is an important property which the authors propose to study via Hanbury-Brown–Twiss intensity interferometry of stopped protons. Their calculations suggest that such measurements may help obtain information on the equation of state of nuclear matter relevant to a wide range of nuclear phenomena including neutron stars and their mergers.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Form factors and generalized parton distributions of heavy quarkonia in basis light front quantization

Lekha Adhikari, Yang Li, Meijian Li, and James P. Vary

Phys. Rev. C 99, 035208 (2019) - Published 15 March, 2019

The authors calculate electromagnetic observables for a selection of spin-1 heavy quarkonia using the basis light front quantization method. They solve the relativistic Hamiltonian mass eigenvalue problem in a convenient basis representation that provides a compact form of the eigenfunctions. The approach provides insight into the spin-sensitive structure and internal dynamics of hadrons at low and medium momentum transfer.
