Cover Story: The “Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research” (FAIR) in Darmstadt, Germany, and the “Nuclotron-based Ion Collider fAcility” (NICA) in Dubna, Russia, are two accelerator centers under construction. FAIR will provide beams and experimental setups to perform forefront research on hadron, nuclear, atomic and plasma physics in radiation biology and material science. At NICA, a unique research program on nuclear matter and spin physics will be conducted. Both facilities will execute experiments to explore the properties of QCD matter at neutron star core densities in order to study the high-density equation-of-state and to shed light on the quark degrees-of-freedom emerging in QCD matter at high densities.

Using Spectator Matter for Centrality Determination in Nucleus-Nucleus Collisions

  • Aleksandr Svetlichnyi,
  • Roman Nepeyvoda and
  • Igor Pshenichnov

23 May 2021

One of the common methods to measure the centrality of nucleus-nucleus collision events consists of detecting forward spectator neutrons. Because of non-monotonic dependence of neutron numbers on centrality, other characteristics of spectator matter...
