A study of the nuclear structure of light nuclei at the Electron-Ion Collider
arxiv(2024)
摘要
The substructure of atomic nuclei resulting from the clustering of nucleons
is crucial for understanding nuclear structure and dynamics. Various cluster
configurations can emerge depending on excitation energy, the number and types
of core clusters, and the presence of excess neutrons. Despite the prevalence
of tightly bound cluster formations in low-lying states, understanding the
correlation between clusters and their formation mechanisms remains incomplete.
This exploring study investigates nuclear clustering at the Electron-Ion
Collider (EIC) using simulations based on the modified BeAGLE model. By
simulating collisions involving e+^9Be, e+^12C, and e+^16O
nuclei, we find that the average energy of particles ⟨ E ⟩ and
the system size ratios of particles at forward rapidity exhibit sensitivity to
alpha clustering and its various configurations. These findings offer valuable
insights into the dynamics of nuclear clustering and its implications for
future studies at the EIC.
