Low Energy Nuclear Structure from Ultra-relativistic Heavy-Light Ion collisions
arXiv:1411.5807
Abstract
The search for specific signals in ultra-relativistic heavy-light ion collisions addressing intrinsic geometric features of nuclei may open a new window to low energy nuclear structure. We discuss specifically the phenomenon of α-clustering in $^{12}$C when colliding with $^{208}$Pb at almost the speed of light.
