    Energy and centrality dependence of thermodynamical observables from multiplicity in Pb+Pb and Au+Au collisions

    Francisco Reyes Rodríguez🇲🇽 · Eleazar Cuautle🇲🇽

    Using a statistical model, we analyze published multiplicity distributions for identified hadrons produced in heavy ion collisions in the energy range from 2.7-200 \gev. Our analysis enables the prediction of the multiplicity distributions for multi-strangeness hadrons that have not yet been measured in lower-energy experiments. Furthermore, we obtain freeze-out parameters, including temperature, baryon chemical and strangeness potentials, the strangeness suppression factor, and the system radius, as functions of centrality and collision energy. Additionally, we computed and discussed the Skewness and its behavior at lower collision energies, highlighting the importance of the freeze-out parameters in determining the liquid-gas phase transition in nuclear matter.

    Teleportation in Proton Systems Revisited

    H. Witała

    We discuss the peculiarities of scattering in a three-proton system induced by the presence of an entangled proton-proton Bell-like state in the initial configuration. We formulate the problem using the standard spin formalism of nuclear physics in order to follow in detail the reaction pathways leading to the teleportation of a quantum-mechanical state within this system. By performing numerical simulations of the system and calculations based on a realistic nucleon-nucleon potential, we evaluate the relevant spin observables and search for a simple, experimentally feasible signal that could provide clear evidence of quantum teleportation. For the case in which proton 2, belonging to the entangled proton pair 23, interacts with hydrogen target 1, thereby triggering the teleportation process, we find clear evidence of teleportation through measurements of the final polarization of proton 3', even for small values of the polarization of target proton 1. The dominant component of this polarization is transferred almost entirely from target proton 1 to proton 3 in the angular region characterized by strong entanglement. For an unpolarized target proton 1, quantum teleportation is no longer possible. The only unambiguous signature of the residual quantum correlations would be provided by measurements of the spin correlations within the strongly entangled final-state proton pair 1'2'. Indirect evidence may also be obtained from measurements of the polarization of proton 2' in the final state, although the corresponding effectis relatively weak.

    Tomography of Atomic Nuclei

    Noemi Rocco🇪🇸 · Carlo Graziani🇺🇸 · Alessandro Lovato🇺🇸 · Anthony J. Tropiano🇺🇸 · Robert B. Wiringa🇺🇸

    We carry out continuum quantum Monte Carlo calculations of the quantum-mechanical Wigner distribution functions of selected nuclei, up to O. These distributions provide a form of quantum tomography of the spatial and momentum structure of the system. They also help identify the location of high-momentum regions in atomic nuclei and provide insight into the onset of alpha clustering. Besides their intrinsic interest, these distributions will be useful for neutrino event generators, as they correlate the positions and momenta of nucleons in the initial target state. To facilitate their application, we address the need to store them compactly by developing an accurate Gaussian Process emulator that automatically preserves their normalization.
