Abstract: There is strong evidence of the failure of hydrodynamic simulations of the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) to reproduce data on the elliptic flow of particles in relativistic collisions of $^{238}$U nuclei at the BNL Relativistic Heavy… read more here.

Abstract: The hexadecapole deformation (β_{4}) of the ^{238}U nucleus has not been determined because its effect is overwhelmed by those from the nucleus' large quadrupole deformation (β_{2}) in nuclear electric transition measurements. In this Letter, we… read more here.
