EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Microscopic study of deuteron production in PbPb collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 2.76 TeV$ via hydrodynamics and a hadronic afterburner

Dmytro Oliinychenko, Long-Gang Pang, Hannah Elfner, and Volker Koch

Phys. Rev. C 99, 044907 (2019) - Published 11 April, 2019

Pions could catalyze reactions between protons and neutrons, allowing the stable production of deuterons in high-energy ion-ion collisions.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Extended-soft-core baryon-baryon model ESC16. II. Hyperon-nucleon interactions

M. M. Nagels, Th. A. Rijken, and Y. Yamamoto

Phys. Rev. C 99, 044003 (2019) - Published 26 April, 2019

This hyperon-nucleon paper is part of a simultaneous treatment of all baryon-baryon systems: $N N$ , $Y N$ , and $Y Y$ . Utilizing a meson-exchange potential approach, all $8 \times 8$ baryon-baryon channels are described in a model with SU(3)-symmetric couplings consistent with the constituent quark model. A high-quality fit is achieved for the $N N$ data ( $T_{Lab} < 350$ MeV) and the available $p$ - $Λ$ and $p$ - $Σ$ data.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Particle-number projected Bogoliubov-coupled-cluster theory: Application to the pairing Hamiltonian

Y. Qiu, T. M. Henderson, T. Duguet, and G. E. Scuseria

Phys. Rev. C 99, 044301 (2019) - Published 1 April, 2019

A many-body formalism is developed to consistently combine particle-number projection techniques with Bogoliubov coupled-cluster theory. Applied to the Richardson pairing Hamiltonian, the method produces highly accurate solutions over the complete range of pairing strengths (from weak to strong correlations). The next step will be to apply the method to realistic nuclear Hamiltonians and treat similarly the angular-momentum breaking and restoration.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Shape staggering of midshell mercury isotopes from in-source laser spectroscopy compared with density-functional-theory and Monte Carlo shell-model calculations

S. Sels et al.

Phys. Rev. C 99, 044306 (2019) - Published 12 April, 2019

The neutron-deficient Hg isotopes have been a paradigm for nuclear shape coexistence. The ground states of these nuclei exhibit striking structural differences from the neighboring Pb isotopes, and are very challenging to study experimentally. Here, new state-of-the-art data extend information on the charge radii (and electromagnetic moments) to the lightest Hg isotopes ever measured using laser spectroscopy. The results suggest a sudden decrease in deformation for the lightest isotopes and an end to the region of ground-state shape staggering. These data provide constraints on future large-scale microscopic shell model and density functional calculations.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Evolving charge correlations in a hybrid model with both hydrodynamics and hadronic Boltzmann descriptions

Scott Pratt and Christopher Plumberg

Phys. Rev. C 99, 044916 (2019) - Published 23 April, 2019

Because quarks carry conserved charges, they are produced in pairs. After combining into hadrons, these conservation laws manifest themselves as measurable correlations that are sensitive to when charges are created, and how they diffuse apart from one another. This work describes a full simulation of the evolving correlations superimposed on a state-of-the-art microscopic description of the relativistic heavy-ion collision. The results largely describe preliminary experimental results and suggest that the early matter in those collisions comes close to maintaining chemical equilibrium.
