A charge-sensitive in-event correlator is proposed and tested for its efficacy to detect and characterize charge separation associated with the Chiral Magnetic Effect (CME) in heavy ion collisions. Tests, performed with the aid of two reaction models, indicate discernible responses for background- and CME-driven charge separation, relative to the second- ($Psi_{2}$) and third-order ($Psi_{3}$) event planes, which could serve to identify the CME. The tests also indicate a degree of sensitivity which would enable robust characterization of the CME via Anomalous Viscous Fluid Dynamics (AVFD) model comparisons.

This article presents the motivation for developing a comprehensive modeling framework in which different models and parameter inputs can be compared and evaluated for a large range of jet-quenching observables measured in relativistic heavy-ion coll isions at RHIC and the LHC. The concept of a framework us discussed within the context of recent efforts by the JET Collaboration, the authors of JEWEL, and the JETSCAPE collaborations. The framework ingredients for each of these approaches is presented with a sample of important results from each. The role of advanced statistical tools in comparing models to data is also discussed, along with the need for a more detailed accounting of correlated errors in experimental results.

In the domain of Fermi energy, it is extremely complex to isolate experimentally fragments and particles issued from the cooling of a hot nucleus produced during a heavy ion collision. This paper presents a new method to characterize more precisely h ot Quasi-Projectiles. It tries to take into account as accurately as possible the distortions generated by all the other potential participants in the nuclear reaction. It is quantitatively shown that this method is a major improvement respect to classic calorimetries used with a 4$pi$ detector array. By detailing and deconvolving the different steps of the reconstitution of the hot nucleus, this study shows also the respective role played by the experimental device and the event selection criteria on the quality of the determination of QP characteristics.
The Shape method, a novel approach to obtain the functional form of the $gamma$-ray strength function ($gamma$SF) in the absence of neutron resonance spacing data, is introduced. When used in connection with the Oslo method the slope of the Nuclear L evel Density (NLD) is obtained simultaneously. The foundation of the Shape method lies in the primary $gamma$-ray transitions which preserve information on the functional form of the $gamma$SF. The Shape method has been applied to $^{56}$Fe, $^{92}$Zr, $^{164}$Dy, and $^{240}$Pu, which are representative cases for the variety of situations encountered in typical NLD and $gamma$SF studies. The comparisons of results from the Shape method to those from the Oslo method demonstrate that the functional form of the $gamma$SF is retained regardless of nuclear structure details or $J^pi$ values of the states fed by the primary transitions.
Background: The chiral magnetic effect (CME) is extensively studied in heavy-ion collisions at RHIC and the LHC. An azimuthal correlator called $R_{Psi_{m}}$ was proposed to measure the CME. By observing the same $R_{Psi_{2}}$ and $R_{Psi_{3}}$ (conv ex) distributions from A Multi-Phase Transport (AMPT) model, by contrasting data and model as well as large and small systems and by event shape engineering (ESE), a recent preprint (arXiv:2006.04251v1) from STAR suggests that the $R_{Psi_{m}}$ observable is sensitive to the CME signal and relatively insensitive to backgrounds, and their Au+Au data are inconsistent with known background contributions. Purpose: We examine those claims by studying the robustness of the $R_{Psi_{m}}$ observable using AMPT as well as toy model simulations. We compare $R_{Psi_{m}}$ to the more widely used $Deltagamma$ azimuthal correlator to identify their commonalities and differences. Methods: We use AMPT to simulate Au+Au, p+Au, and d+Au collisions at $sqrt{s_{NN}} = 200 text{ GeV}$, and study the responses of $R_{Psi_{m}}$ to anisotropic flow backgrounds in the model. We also use a toy model to simulate resonance flow background and input CME signal to investigate their effects in $R_{Psi_{2}}$. Additionally we use the toy model to perform an ESE analysis to compare to STAR data as well as predict the degree of sensitivity of $R_{Psi_{2}}$ to isobar collisions with the event statistics taken at RHIC. ...
We investigate the properties of electromagnetic fields in isobaric $_{44}^{96}textrm{Ru}+,_{44}^{96}textrm{Ru}$ and $_{40}^{96}textrm{Zr}+,_{40}^{96}textrm{Zr}$ collisions at $sqrt{s}$ = 200 GeV by using a multiphase transport model, with special em phasis on the correlation between magnetic field direction and participant plane angle $Psi_{2}$ (or spectator plane angle $Psi_{2}^{rm SP}$), i.e. $langle{rm cos} 2(Psi_B - Psi_{2})rangle$ [or $langle{rm cos} 2(Psi_B - Psi_{2}^{rm SP})rangle$]. We confirm that the magnetic fields of $_{44}^{96}textrm{Ru}+,_{44}^{96}textrm{Ru}$ collisions are stronger than those of $_{40}^{96}textrm{Zr}+,_{40}^{96}textrm{Zr}$ collisions due to their larger proton fraction. We find that the deformation of nuclei has a non-negligible effect on $langle{rm cos} 2(Psi_B - Psi_{2})rangle$ especially in peripheral events. Because the magnetic-field direction is more strongly correlated with $Psi_{2}^{rm SP}$ than with $Psi_{2}$, the relative difference of the chiral magnetic effect observable with respect to $Psi_{2}^{rm SP}$ is expected to be able to reflect much cleaner information about the chiral magnetic effect with less influences of deformation.
