Abstract:
High-energy nuclear collisions have recently emerged as a promising “imaging-bysmashing" approach that reveals the intrinsic shapes of atomic nuclei. Here, I outline a conceptual framework for this technique, explaining how nuclear shapes are encoded during quark-gluon plasma formation and evolution, and how they can be decoded from final-state particle distributions. I discuss the method's potential to improve oulunderstanding of nuclear structure and quark-gluon plasma physics.
