EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Interferometric signatures of the temperature dependence of the specific shear viscosity in heavy-ion collisions

Christopher Plumberg and Ulrich Heinz

Phys. Rev. C 91, 054905 (2015) - Published 14 May, 2015

Two-particle quantum interference patterns, known from astronomy as Hanbury-Brown and Twiss (HBT) correlations, describe the size and shape of a particle or photon emitting source. This paper demonstrates that they are influenced, in high-energy heavy-ion collisions, by the ratio of shear viscosity to entropy density, which is an important property of hot QCD matter and strongly motivated by gauge/gravity duality (AdS/CFT correspondence). The finding would complement and independently verify the inference of the ratio from single-particle spectra.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Development of high-performance alkali-hybrid polarized ${}^{3}{He}$ targets for electron scattering

Jaideep T. Singh, P. A. M. Dolph, W. A. Tobias, T. D. Averett, A. Kelleher, K. E. Mooney, V. V. Nelyubin, Yunxiao Wang, Yuan Zheng, and G. D. Cates

Phys. Rev. C 91, 055205 (2015) - Published 21 May, 2015

Motivated by seeking to image the internal structure of neutrons, the authors develop high-performance polarized $^{3}$ He targets for use in electron scattering experiments. Detailed simulations and measurements are presented which indicate how to achieve high performance. The measurements also provide insight into factors that limit the maximum achievable $^{3}$ He polarization.
