EDITORS' SUGGESTION

RAPID COMMUNICATION

Electromagnetic and neutral-weak response functions of ${}^{4}{He}$ and ${}^{12}C$

A. Lovato, S. Gandolfi, J. Carlson, Steven C. Pieper, and R. Schiavilla

Phys. Rev. C 91, 062501(R) (2015) - Published 4 June, 2015

The authors calculate $a b$ - $i n i t i o$ quasi-elastic electromagnetic and neutral-weak response functions for $A = 4$ and $A = 12$ nuclei by using realistic nuclear two- and three-body forces and one- and two-body electroweak currents, in combination with quantum Monte Carlo methods and maximum-entropy techniques. In the electromagnetic case, their novel approach allows a direct comparison with experimental data. The results challenge the conventional picture that quasi-elastic inclusive scattering is dominated by single-nucleon knockout.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Extended Skyrme pseudopotential deduced from infinite nuclear matter properties

D. Davesne, J. Navarro, P. Becker, R. Jodon, J. Meyer, and A. Pastore

Phys. Rev. C 91, 064303 (2015) - Published 4 June, 2015

Beyond light nuclei, energy-density functional theory is widely used to describe properties of nuclei and nuclear matter. The traditional Skyrme functional is fully optimized in fitting nuclei but is not flexible enough to fit nuclear matter results of first-principles, realistic-interaction calculations. The authors present a strategy to extend the Skyrme functional to include higher-order gradients thereby satisfactorily fitting nuclear matter results.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Centrality dependence of low-momentum direct-photon production in $Au + Au$ collisions at $\sqrt{s_{N N}} = 200 GeV$

A. Adare et al. (PHENIX Collaboration)

Phys. Rev. C 91, 064904 (2015) - Published 5 June, 2015

Direct photons produced in relativistic heavy-ion collisions allow access to the state of matter during the collision, because they do not experience the strong interaction and can escape from the fireball without scattering. New data from the PHENIX experiment at RHIC show that as a function of impact parameter the yield of direct photons increases much more rapidly than particle production, which provides new evidence for emission from the system when it was most hot and dense.
