A proper description of p ion-nuc leus scattering at energies near the (3,3) resonance requires that account be taken of the dynamics of the resonant p i o n n u cleon system. In particular the motion of this system through the nucleus and its strong interaction with the nuclear medium cannot be neglected [1,2]. Recently several groups [2 6] have incorporated these effects into calculations of ...

In the framework of the effective field theory for interacting BFKL pomerons, applied to nucleusnucleus scattering, boundary conditions for the classical field equations are discussed. Correspondence with the QCD diagrams at the boundary rapidities requires pomeron interaction with the participating nuclei to be exponential and non-local. Commonly used ’eikonal’ boundary conditions, local and l...

Two existing global medium-energy nucleon-nucleus phenomenological optical model potentials are described and compared with experiment and with each other. The first of these employs a Dirac approach (second-order reduction) that is global in projectile energy and projectile isospin and applies to the target nucleus 208 Pb. Here the standard S-V (isoscalar-scalar, isoscalar-vector) model has be...

Neutrinos with energy of order 10~MeV, such as from pion decay-at-rest sources, are an invaluable tool for studying low-energy neutrino interactions nuclei -- previously enabling the first measurement coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering. Beyond scattering, neutrinos and dark matter in this range also excite to its low-lying nuclear states, providing additional physics channel. Here, we...

We discuss some differences and similarities between electron and neutrino scattering off atomic nuclei. We find that, in the giant resonance region, the two processes excite different nuclear modes, therefore the weak and the electromagnetic nuclear responses are rather different. In any case, the scattering of electrons and photons is the best guide we have to test the validity of our nuclear...

2014 An effective nucleon-nucleon amplitude for bound nucleons taking into account medium effects such as Fermi motion and Pauli blocking has been derived from the Bethe-Goldstone equation, using a MonteCarlo simulation of a nucleon-nucleon collision in the nuclear medium. The obtained amplitude is local and density dependent. This amplitude has been used in a local density approximation to ana...

We present results of hydrodynamic modeling Au-Au collisions from $\sqrt{{s}_{NN}}=7.7$ to 200 GeV. Our simulations have three novel components. First, we use a Linear EXtrapolation Ultratrelativistic nucleon-nucleon Scattering nucleus-nucleus (LEXUS) inspired Monte Carlo initial-state model. Second, crossover equation state at finite baryon densities without critical point. Finally, departure ...

We consider dilepton production in high energy proton-nucleus (and very forward nucleus-nucleus) collisions. Treating the target nucleus as a Color Glass Condensate and describing the projectile proton (nucleus) as a collection of quarks and gluons as in the parton model, we calculate the differential cross section for dilepton production in quark-nucleus scattering and show that it is very sen...
