EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Cluster formation in precompound nuclei in the time-dependent framework

B. Schuetrumpf and W. Nazarewicz

Phys. Rev. C 96, 064608 (2017) - Published 15 December, 2017

A new model provides a detailed visualization of the clustering of protons and neutrons within the hot nuclear compound formed just after two nuclei collide and fuse.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Femtoscopy with identified charged pions in proton-lead collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}} = 5.02$ TeV with ATLAS

M. Aaboud et al. (ATLAS Collaboration)

Phys. Rev. C 96, 064908 (2017) - Published 28 December, 2017

Hanbury-Brown–Twiss (HBT) quantum correlations between identical hadrons provide information about the space-time evolution of the matter created in high-energy collisions of atomic nuclei. This paper reports on HBT measurements of charged pions created in proton-lead collisions at the LHC. The ATLAS Collaboration finds that even when one of the colliding partners is a proton, rather than a large nucleus, hallmarks of collectivity are seen, similar to those associated with the quark-gluon plasma produced in lead-lead collisions at the LHC: the HBT source size increases with multiplicity and decreases with transverse momentum of the pair.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Determination of the proton spin structure functions for $0.05 < Q^{2} < 5 {GeV}^{2}$ using CLAS

R. G. Fersch et al. (CLAS Collaboration)

Phys. Rev. C 96, 065208 (2017) - Published 27 December, 2017

The basic properties of the proton, the lightest baryon, are determined by its quark and gluon composition. In particular, its spin of $ħ / 2$ has been a challenge to understand in terms of the proton’s constituents. The comprehensive results presented here are based on measurements with high precision and dense kinematic coverage carried out with the CLAS detector at Jefferson Lab. They provide new insight into the proton substructure at resolutions on the length scale of the whole nucleon down to the quark level. A variety of strong interaction models are tested with these new data, to further constrain the quark and gluon contribution to the proton spin.
