We investigate the production of psi(2S) in nuclear collisions at RHIC and LHC energies. We first address charmonium production in 200 GeV d-Au collisions at RHIC; the strong suppression of psi' mesons observed in these reactions indicates mechanisms beyond initial cold nuclear matter effects. We find that a more complete treatment of hadronic dissociation reactions leads to appreciable psi' suppression in the thermal medium of an expanding fireball background for d-Au collisions. When implementing updated hadronic reaction rates into a fireball for 2.76 TeV Pb-Pb collisions at LHC, the regeneration of psi' mesons occurs significantly later than for J/psi's. Despite a smaller total number of regenerated psi', the stronger radial flow at their time of production induces a marked enhancement of their R-AA relative to J/psi's in a transverse-momentum range of pt similar or equal to 3-6 GeV. We explore the consequences and uncertainties of this sequential regeneration mechanism on the R-AA double ratio and find that it can reproduce the trends observed in recent CMS data.

Quantum entanglement in top quark pair production

Mira Varma, Oliver K. Baker

Summary: In this letter, the authors expand upon the previous work to demonstrate the entanglement observed in top quark interactions. They propose that the thermal component caused by proton collisions with top quarks emerges from entanglement within the proton wave function, and they use published results to show the expected behavior.

Probing the hidden-bottom pentaquark resonances in photonuclear bottomonium production near threshold: Differential observables

E. Ya. Paryev

Summary: In this study, we investigate the near-threshold meson photoproduction from protons and nuclei and explore the possibility of observing non-strange hidden-bottom pentaquark states through differential observables. We calculate the excitation functions and energy/momentum distributions for different production processes and propose that future experiments at high-luminosity electron-ion colliders could provide evidence for the existence of these hidden-bottom pentaquark resonances.

Investigating the influence of input angular momentum on independence hypothesis in heavy-ion induced fusion reactions

M. Shariq Asnain, Manoj Kumar Sharma, Mohd. Shuaib, Aquib Siddique, Ishfaq Majeed Bhat, B. P. Singh, R. Prasad

Summary: This study validates the compound nucleus theory using heavy ion beams and different targets. By analyzing cross section data and comparing reaction cross section data, the study confirms the validity of the theory, but also observes discrepancies at lower excitation energies.

Electromagnetic properties of A hypernuclei with a beyond relativistic mean-field approach

Y. G. Yao, X. Y. Wu, H. Mei

Summary: This study presents a microscopic investigation of the electromagnetic properties of the low-lying states of single-A hypernucleus 9ABe using the HyperGCM method based on covariant density functional theory. The results are compared to those of a particle-rotor model (PRM) and show close agreement. It is found that the electric quadrupole transition strengths are more sensitive to the coupling strengths of the AN interaction than the magnetic moments and M 1 transition strengths.
