Nuclear Experiment Papers of the Week

The 20 most important new Nuclear Experiment papers of the past week, ranked by potential impact. A new issue comes out every Monday, covering the previous Monday-to-Sunday week.

Nov 2 - 8, 2026 · Updated · Category: Nuclear Experiment (arXiv nucl-ex)

  1. 1
    Elliptic and Triangular Flow Responses in O+O and Ne+Ne Collisions from Hydrodynamics and Kinetic Theory

    To this end, and to assess the impact of the experimental results, we compare simulations of O+O and Ne+Ne collisions in hydrodynamic and kinetic theory simulations across opacities.

  2. 2
    Heavy Quarkonium Spin Transport in A Hot Medium

    We investigate the in-medium spin transport of heavy quarkonium using an open-quantum-system approach based on potential nonrelativistic QCD.

  3. 3
    Heavy Quarkonium Dynamics Beyond The Binding Energy Over Temperature Expansion

    We revisit the pNRQCD open-quantum-system description of bottomonium in a quark-gluon plasma, writing the full master equation in a spherical basis and establishing a framework for its numerical treatment.

  4. 4
    Precise and Accurate Nuclear Electric Quadrupole Moment of $^{223}$Ra from Molecular Spectroscopy

    In this study, we determine the spectroscopic quadrupole moment of $^{223}$Ra (half-life $t_{1/2} = 11.4$ d) from hyperfine-resolved collinear resonance ionization spectroscopy of the radioactive molecule $^{223}$Ra$^{19}$F.

  5. 5
    Probing The Charm-quark Dead Cone Effect in Heavy Ion Collisions

    The first experimental study of the dead-cone effect for the charm quark in heavy ion collisions is presented.

Get papers like these the day they come out, not a week later.

    Estimating Cosmogenic Backgrounds in NEXO at SNOLAB Using Geant4 and FLUKA

    We perform detailed Monte Carlo simulations of muons reaching the underground SNOLAB environment using both Geant4 and FLUKA to study the production of radioactive isotopes from both direct spallation reactions or subsequent neutron-induced reactions.

  3. 8
    Observation of Scaling of Higher-Order Flow in A Unitary Fermi Gas

    By suddenly releasing the confinement, we resolve anisotropic flow harmonics up to the seventh order.

    Differential Measurement of Global Polarization of $Λ$, $Ξ$, and $Ω$ Hyperons in Au+Au Collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\mathrm{NN}}}=7.7$--$27~\mathrm{GeV}$ from The RHIC Beam Energy Scan-II

    We present high-precision differential measurements of the global polarization of $\Lambda$, $\Xi$, and $\Omega$ hyperons in Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\mathrm{NN}}}=7.7$, $9.2$, $11.5$, $14.6$, $17.3$, $19.6$, and $27~\mathrm{GeV}$ from the RHIC Beam Energy Scan Phase II (BES-II) using the STAR detector.

    Exploring The Limit of Partonic Collectivity in Small Collision Systems at The LHC

    In this Letter, the $p_{\rm{T}}$-differential $v_{2}$ of various hadronic species is investigated in p-Pb collisions for the multiplicity intervals $N_{\rm ch} \geq 50$, $25 \leq N_{\rm ch} < 50$, and $15 \leq N_{\rm ch} < 25$, as well as in pp collisions for $25 \leq N_{\rm ch} < 50$ and $15 \leq N_{\rm ch} < 25$.

    Correlations and Fluctuations of Flow with Event Shape Engineering in Pb-Pb and Xe-Xe Collisions at The LHC

    In this paper, correlations and fluctuations of the anisotropic flow coefficients $v_{2}$, $v_{3}$, and $v_{4}$ are measured in Pb-Pb and Xe-Xe collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm{NN}}} = 5.02$ and $5.44$ TeV, respectively, with the ALICE detector.

    Light Nucleus and Hypernucleus Production at RHIC and LHC Energies: A Comparative Study of Phenomenological Models

    This document reviews the main experimental and theoretical developments presented during the RRTF, summarizes the key questions that emerged from the discussions, and identifies observables and future measurements that may help discriminate among different production mechanisms.

    Triaxial $μ$-PIC for Resolving Multi-Hit Ambiguity

    To this end, we designed a new electrode structure using Garfield++ simulations and fabricated a triaxial $\mu$-PIC based on through-glass-via (TGV) technology.

  12. 17
    Electroweak Constraints on Nuclear Neutron Distributions and The Low-Energy Weak Mixing Angle

    We exploit correlations across nuclei within an extended Skyrme energy-density-functional framework to propagate constraints from the CREX and PREX-II parity-violating electron-scattering (PVES) measurements to CE$\nu$NS targets.

    Track Reconstruction with ACTAR TPC: A Transfer-reaction Use Case

    A unified framework for track reconstruction in the ACTAR Time Projection Chamber (ACTAR TPC) is presented, designed to address the specific challenges of direct-reaction and resonance-elastic scattering experiments involving exotic nuclei.

  14. 19
    Proton Generalized Parton Distributions from Electromagnetic Form Factors: A Theoretically Constrained Phenomenological Reconstruction

    We present a theoretically constrained phenomenological reconstruction of the unpolarized, chiral-even, leading-twist proton generalized parton distributions $H^q$ and $E^q$.
