In this paper, we investigate the possibility to study the famous charged charmonium-like state production off nuclear targets and its properties in inclusive photon-induced reactions near the kinematic threshold within the collision model based on the nuclear spectral function. The model accounts for its charged components production in direct photon–nucleon interactions as well as three different popular scenarios for their internal structures: compact tetraquarks, molecules of the two open-charm mesons and mixtures of both of them. We calculate the absolute and relative excitation functions for production of mesons on 12C and 184W target nuclei at initial photon energies of 9.0–17.5 GeV, the absolute momentum differential cross sections and their ratios for the production off these target nuclei at laboratory polar angles of 0∘–10∘ and at photon energy of 14 GeV as well as the A-dependences of the ratios of the total cross sections for production at photon energy of 14 GeV within the adopted scenarios for the internal structures. Our results in particular indicate that the total cross sections for production have at above threshold photon energies of ∼ 13–17 GeV a well measurable strengths ∼ 50–200 (50–200) and 200–1500 (300–2000) nb for carbon and tungsten target nuclei, respectively. Therefore, one might expect to measure these strengths at the upgraded up to 22 GeV CEBAF facility. We also demonstrate that the absolute and relative observables considered show a certain sensitivity to the

Nuclear pasta structures, which emerge in large nucleon systems at subsaturation densities and near-zero temperatures, have traditionally been analyzed using Minkowski Functionals, particularly through the correlation between Curvature and Euler Characteristic. Previous methods relied on cubic voxelization to create three-dimensional bodies from nuclear theory data points, leading to inaccurate estimations of geometric properties. This work introduces the alpha shapes method as a superior alternative for constructing three-dimensional solid bodies from point cloud data and calculating Minkowski Functionals. Through test cases comparing voxelization and alpha shapes, as well as analysis of pasta structures obtained through classical molecular dynamics, we demonstrate that the alpha shapes method provides more accurate geometric representations and simplifies the calculation of Minkowski Functionals. We use Diode, a Python library implementing alpha shape calculations, to verify previously observed correlations between pasta shapes and their position in the Curvature-Euler Characteristic plane. Our analysis, extending across various temperatures and densities, reveals a density-dependent trend in pasta shapes that is relatively temperature-independent. The method is also tested satisfactorily with neutron star matter. These findings provide a quantitative framework for characterizing the evolution of nuclear pasta structures and offer a new computational tool for researchers studying these phenomena through different theoretical approaches.
在亚饱和密度和接近零温度的大型核子系统中出现的核面食结构,传统上使用闵可夫斯基泛函进行分析,特别是通过曲率和欧拉特性之间的相关性。以前的方法依靠立方体素化从核理论数据点创建三维物体,导致对几何性质的不准确估计。这项工作介绍了alpha形状方法作为从点云数据构建三维实体和计算闵可夫斯基泛函的优越选择。通过体素化和alpha形状的对比测试用例,以及对经典分子动力学得到的面食结构的分析,我们证明了alpha形状方法提供了更精确的几何表示,简化了Minkowski泛函的计算。我们使用二极管,一个实现alpha形状计算的Python库,来验证之前观察到的面食形状和它们在曲率-欧拉特征平面上的位置之间的相关性。我们的分析跨越了不同的温度和密度,揭示了意大利面形状的密度依赖趋势,而这种趋势与温度相对无关。该方法在中子星物质中也得到了满意的验证。这些发现为表征核面食结构的演变提供了定量框架,并为研究人员通过不同的理论方法研究这些现象提供了新的计算工具。

In this paper, we investigate the impact of modern free parton distribution functions and nuclear parton distribution functions on the azimuthal angular correlation of open heavy flavour hadrons in Pb–Pb collisions at = 5.5 TeV using PYTHIA8 + Angantyr model. The method involves a transverse momentum () differential assessment of azimuthal angular correlations between prompt and . By analysing the -dependent behaviour of these correlations, we probe the interplay between different production mechanisms and assess the impact of parton distribution functions on heavy flavour hadron production dynamics. Our results indicate that nuclear parton distribution functions significantly modify the azimuthal correlation distribution's near-side and away-side peaks compared to the default PYTHIA8 baseline, particularly at low . The near-side double-peak structure suggests contributions from next-to-leading order (NLO) processes, such as gluon splitting, and its presence is strongly correlated with the number of hard multi-parton interactions. Additionally, by quantitatively comparing the change in correlation widths across various PDF settings, we comment on the role of nuclear parton distribution functions on the broadening of correlation distribution in heavy-ion collisions. This comprehensive study of azimuthal correlations enhances our understanding of nuclear collisions's initial-state conditions and heavy flavour production dynamics.

In a recent study [Europhys. Lett. 146, (2024), 14001], a novel relativistic parameterisation of the energy density functional (EDF) at local density was integrated into the coherent density fluctuation model (CDFM). This approach employed the density-dependent DD-ME2 parameter within the relativistic Hartree-Bogoliubov framework, alongside the well-established non-linear NL3 force parameter, to investigate the surface properties of a few doubly-magic nuclei. In the present work, we extend this new relativistic EDF formulation to a much broader region: the evolution of shell structure across several open- and closed-shell nuclei of intermediate-mass isotopic chains, specifically Kr (), Sr (), Te (), Xe (), Ba (), Ce (), Nd () and Sm (). Using the CDFM formalism, we translate key nuclear matter quantities, such as the symmetry energy and its derivatives, from momentum space to coordinate space at local densities. This procedure is particularly relevant when investigating nuclei near the drip lines. Our findings demonstrate that the symmetry energy successfully reproduces the conventional magic numbers and 82 while indicating the emergence of new shell and/or sub-shell closures around and 92. Furthermore, we decompose the symmetry energy into its volume and surface components, using two approaches, and perform an extensive comparison to assess their impact on the identification of shell closures. We also examine how neutron-proton asymmetry influences the symmetry energy along these isotopic chains. In general, this study highlights novel regions of interest in the medium-mass region of the nuclear chart. It emphasises the need for experimental investigations of the newly suggested shell closures.

In this work, we present a new phenomenological study of the favored and unfavored α-decay process within the framework of position-dependent effective mass (PDEM) and the WKB approximation. Our approach integrates the quantum concept of PDEM into a simplified model while explicitly incorporating the centrifugal barrier effect, which arises from the transfer of angular momentum of the emitted particle. This contribution is essential for analyzing even-odd, odd-even and odd-odd nuclei. By deriving the deformed Schrödinger equation with this additional term, we refine the expression for the α-decay half-life. The proposed formula has been tested on 397 nuclei, classified into four configurations: even-even, even-odd, odd-even, and odd-odd. The results show excellent agreement with experimental data across all cases. Furthermore, we emphasize that the deformation parameter β, introduced through the PDEM framework, is not merely an adjustable fitting parameter but is intrinsically linked to the underlying structure of the model.
在这项工作中,我们在位置相关有效质量(PDEM)和WKB近似的框架下,对有利和不利α-衰变过程进行了新的现象学研究。我们的方法将PDEM的量子概念整合到一个简化的模型中,同时明确地纳入了离心势垒效应,这是由发射粒子的角动量转移引起的。这一贡献对于分析奇偶核、奇偶核和奇偶核是必不可少的。通过推导带有这一附加项的变形Schrödinger方程,我们改进了α衰变半衰期的表达式。所提出的公式已经在397个核上进行了测试,这些核被分为四种构型:偶偶、偶奇、奇偶和奇奇。结果表明,在所有情况下,与实验数据非常吻合。此外,我们强调,通过PDEM框架引入的变形参数β不仅仅是一个可调的拟合参数,而且与模型的底层结构有着内在的联系。

We investigate the twist-2 distribution amplitudes of the scalar mesons and in the two-quark picture. The moments of these scalar mesons are obtained up to the third order with QCD sum rules method. With these moments, the first two Gegenbauer coefficients are determined and utilized to analyze the twist-2 distribution amplitudes. Our numerical results indicate that the meson favors a conventional two-quark ground state. The paper concludes with an examination of the form factors for the transitions .

New analytical solutions of the conformable fractional Bohr Hamiltonian for triaxial nuclei have been derived, incorporating an extended form of the Sextic potential in the component of the collective nuclear potential, alongside a steep harmonic oscillator in the component. This particular type of potential can specifically recover sextic, Davidson and harmonic potentials in particular cases. The energy spectra and corresponding wave functions are analytically determined through a novel conformable fractional extended Nikiforov-Uvarov method. Additionally, the derivation of the wave functions necessitates the application of the bi-confluent Heun functions. This study examines the relationship between the conformable fractional spectra of the potential and the benchmark spectrum. A systematic analysis is conducted to explore the spectral expansion as a function of both the fractional derivative order and the potential parameters. The normalized transition rates and corresponding energy spectra were computed and systematically compared with experimental measurements. The theoretical predictions demonstrate excellent agreement with empirical data across multiple isotopic chains, including 112,114,116Pd, 120, 126, 128, 130, 132, 134Xe, and 192,194,196Pt.

The ab initio symmetry-adapted no-core shell model is a microscopic many-body method which naturally describes challenging collective and clustering features of atomic nuclei. Wave functions and observables computed with realistic nucleon-nucleon forces in this framework are tied to first principles, and are hence well-suited for rigorous uncertainty quantification. We discuss α-deuteron and α-12C cluster potentials informed by symmetry-adapted calculations, and propagate uncertainties in the effective binary cluster method as well as those in the nuclear interaction to reaction observables, namely scattering phase shifts, cross sections, partial widths and resonance energies. We find that the overall uncertainties are dominated by those originating in the underlying nuclear force, speaking to the need for tighter constraints on realistic nucleon-nucleon interactions.
