Space-time regions of high baryon density and baryon stopping in heavy-ion collisions
nucl-th 2026-02 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

3FD hydrodynamics predicts larger and longer-lived regions of dense baryon matter in Au+Au collisions at 3–19.6 GeV than JAM transport, with V4(3n0) decreasing monotonically with energy.
Excited cluster states: A new source for proton number fluctuations in the high baryon density regime
nucl-th 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

Excited cluster decays raise predicted proton cumulant ratios in a hadron resonance gas at collision energies of 2 to 5 GeV per nucleon pair, with the largest effect on high-order ratios at low energies.
