Investigating $^{238}$U Deformation via Dilepton Production in Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collisions
Due to their weak coupling to the strongly interacting matter produced in relativistic heavy-ion collisions, dileptons serve as a sensitive probe of the initial geometry of the colliding nuclei. In this study, we investigate the influence of initial nuclear quadrupole deformation, characterized by the parameter $β_2$, on dilepton production in $U+U$ collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=196$ GeV. The analysis is varried out using a modified multiphase transport model in which partonic interactions are described by the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model. We observe a clear linear dependence of dilepton yields on $β_2^2$ in both the low-mass region (LMR, $<1 GeV/c^2$) and intermediate-mass region (IMR, $1-3 GeV/c^2$) of the dilepton spectrum for the most central collisions. Also, dilepton production in the IMR region exhibits a stronger sensitivity to nuclear deformation than in the LMR, reflecting the dominance of earlier partonic processes in this mass range. These results suggest that precise measurements of dilepton yields in relativistic heavy-ion collisions can provide a viable means to determine the deformation parameter $β_2$ of $^{238}$U.Open AccessInvestigating $^{238}$U Deformation via Dilepton Production in Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collisions

Exploring the chiral magnetic effect in isobar collisions through chiral anomaly transport
We investigate the signal of the chiral magnetic effect (CME) in Au + Au collisions and isobar collisions of Ru 44 96 + Ru 44 96 and Zr 40 96 + Zr 40 96 in the newly developed chiral anomaly transport module based on the state-of-the-art model “a multiphase transport.” Our numerical simulation results for the ratio charge correlation Δ γ in Ru + Ru and Zr + Zr collisions are close to the latest experimental data. The simulation shows that the CME signal is larger in Ru + Ru collisions than that in Zr + Zr collisions, while the background is smaller, and the upper limit of the CME signal is 15 % in the isobar collisions.

Evolution of topological charge through chiral anomaly transport
Built upon the state-of-the-art model a multiphase transport, we develop a new module of chiral anomaly transport (CAT) to trace the evolution of the initial topological charge of the gauge field created through sphaleron transition at finite temperature and the external magnetic field in heavy-ion collisions. The eventual experimental signals of the chiral magnetic effect (CME) have been measured. The CAT explicitly shows the generation and evolution of the charge separation, the signals of the CME through the CAT are quantitatively in agreement with the experimental measurements in collisions at GeV, and the centrality dependence of the CME fraction follows that of the fireball temperature. Our simulation supports the generation of the CME.- 18 March 2024

Elliptic flow splittings in the Polyakov–Nambu–Jona-Lasinio transport model
To incorporate the effect of gluons on the evolution dynamics of the quark matter produced in relativistic heavy-ion collisions, we extend the three-flavor Nambu–Jona-Lasinio (NJL) transport model to include the contribution from the Polyakov loops. Imbedding the resulting pNJL partonic transport model in an extended multiphase transport (extended AMPT) model, we then study the elliptic flow splittings between particles and their antiparticles in relativistic heavy-ion collisions at beam energy scan energies. We find that a weak quark vector interaction in the partonic phase is able to describe the elliptic flow splitting between protons and antiprotons in heavy-ion collisions at to 39 GeV. Knowledge of the quark vector interaction is useful for understanding the equation of state of quark matter at large baryon chemical potentials and thus the location of the critical point in the QCD phase diagram.- 4 October 2021

Simulating the chiral magnetic wave in a box system
The chiral magnetic wave from the interplay between the chiral magnetic effect and the chiral separation effect is simulated in a box system with the periodic boundary condition based on the chiral kinetic equations of motion. Simulation results are compared with available limits from theoretical derivations, and effects of the temperature, the magnetic field, and the specific shear viscosity on the key properties of the chiral magnetic wave are discussed. Our study serves as a baseline for further simulations of chiral anomalies in relativistic heavy-ion collisions.
