EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Pauli energy contribution to the nucleus-nucleus interaction

A. S. Umar, C. Simenel, and K. Godbey

Phys. Rev. C 104, 034619 (2021) - Published 17 September, 2021

Attempts to understand effects of the Pauli exclusion principle in nucleus-nucleus potentials and the resulting barrier to fusion have a long history. The authors propose a method to quantify the Pauli kinetic energy that allows one to distinguish between neutron and proton contributions. Their analysis suggests that Pauli repulsion effects occur primarily in the “neck” between fragments at a distance of approach comparable to the barrier radius. Moreover, inside the barrier neutron contributions dominate in neutron-rich systems, which hinders sub-barrier fusion.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Deuteron production in relativistic heavy ion collisions via stochastic multiparticle reactions

J. Staudenmaier, D. Oliinychenko, J. M. Torres-Rincon, and H. Elfner

Phys. Rev. C 104, 034908 (2021) - Published 24 September, 2021

The puzzling observation that deuterons, having a binding energy of only 2.2 MeV, survive final-state temperatures of more than 100 MeV in high-energy heavy-ion collisions, has been explained as a delicate balance between creation and destruction at similar rates. However, because the process involves collisions between more than two particles, one had to use workarounds for a satisfactory description. The authors treat deuteron catalysis from nucleons and pions with stochastic multiparticle reactions, making previous workarounds for collisions between more than two particles obsolete.
