Theoretical predictions provide a first peek at nuclear shape transitions

Based on an experiment at CERN , a collaboration led by the Niels Bohr Institute , University of Copenhagen , can predict hitherto unchartered changes in the shape of nuclei.

This insight also allows us to determine properties of the colliding nuclei that cannot easily be studied by other methods.

An article on the results has been published in Physical Review Letters .

The group hopes to obtain time at LHC for a follow-up experiment in the summer of 2025 .

The results came out too crude, and they decided to extend the samples to six particles to examine whether Xenon has a fixed triaxial structure or its shape is changing.

This opens, not only for much more sophisticated studies of the properties of the quark-gluon plasma.
