Antinuclei in heavy-ion collisions

J Chen, D Keane, YG Ma, A Tang, Z Xu - Physics Reports, 2018 - Elsevier
We review progress in the study of antinuclei, starting from Dirac's equation and the
discovery of the positron in cosmic-ray events. The development of proton accelerators led …

[HTML][HTML] Loosely-bound objects produced in nuclear collisions at the LHC

P Braun-Munzinger, B Dönigus - Nuclear Physics A, 2019 - Elsevier
Loosely-bound objects such as light nuclei are copiously produced in proton-proton and
nuclear collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), despite the fact that typical energy …

A robust excess in the cosmic-ray antiproton spectrum: Implications for annihilating dark matter

I Cholis, T Linden, D Hooper - Physical Review D, 2019 - APS
An excess of∼ 10–20 GeV cosmic-ray antiprotons has been identified in the spectrum
reported by the AMS-02 Collaboration. The systematic uncertainties associated with this …

Future physics opportunities for high-density QCD at the LHC with heavy-ion and proton beams

Z Citron, A Dainese, JF Grosse-Oetringhaus… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2018 - arxiv.org
The future opportunities for high-density QCD studies with ion and proton beams at the LHC
are presented. Four major scientific goals are identified: the characterisation of the …

Suppression of light nuclei production in collisions of small systems at the Large Hadron Collider

KJ Sun, CM Ko, B Dönigus - Physics Letters B, 2019 - Elsevier
We show that the recently observed suppression of the yield ratio of deuteron to proton and
of helium-3 to proton in p+ p collisions compared to those in p+ Pb or Pb+ Pb collisions by …

Tetraquarks and pentaquarks in lattice QCD with light and heavy quarks

P Bicudo - Physics Reports, 2023 - Elsevier
We review how lattice QCD can contribute to the prediction and the comprehension of
tetraquarks, pentaquarks and related exotic hadrons such as hybrids, with at least one …

[HTML][HTML] Multiplicity dependence of light nuclei production at LHC energies in the canonical statistical model

V Vovchenko, B Dönigus, H Stoecker - Physics Letters B, 2018 - Elsevier
The statistical model with exact conservation of baryon number, electric charge, and
strangeness–the Canonical Statistical Model (CSM)–is used to analyze the dependence of …

Where do the AMS-02 antihelium events come from?

V Poulin, P Salati, I Cholis, M Kamionkowski, J Silk - Physical Review D, 2019 - APS
We discuss the origin of the antihelium-3 and-4 events possibly detected by AMS-02. Using
up-to-date semianalytical tools, we show that spallation from primary hydrogen and helium …
