Published: August 2018

We point out an analogy between diffractive electron-nucleus scattering events and realizations of one-dimensional branching random walks selected according to the height of the genealogical tree of the particles near their boundaries. This correspondence is made transparent in an event-by-event picture of diffraction, emphasizing the statistical properties of gluon evolution, from which new quantitative predictions straightforwardly follow: we are able to determine the distribution of the total invariant mass produced diffractively, which is an interesting observable that can potentially be measured at a future electron-ion collider.

Exploring magnetic properties at the molecular level is a challenge that has been met by developing many experimental and theoretical solutions, such as polarized neutron diffraction (PND), muon-spin rotation (μ-SR), electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), SQUID-based magnetometry measurements, and advanced modeling on open-shell systems and relativistic calculations. These methods are powerful tools that shed light on the local magnetic response in specifically designed magnetic materials such as contrast agents, for MRI, molecular magnets, magnetic tags for biological NMR, etc. All of these methods have their advantages and disadvantages.

Probing Gluon Bose Correlations in Deep Inelastic Scattering.

Phys Rev Lett

May 2022

Department of Physics, North Carolina State University, Raleigh, North Carolina 27695, USA.

We study correlations originating from the quantum nature of gluons in a hadronic wave function. Bose-Einstein correlation between identical particles lead to the enhancement in the number of pairs of gluons with the same quantum numbers and small relative momentum. We show that these preexisting correlations can be probed in deep inelastic scattering experiments at high energy.

Multigluon Correlations and Evidence of Saturation from Dijet Measurements at an Electron-Ion Collider.

Phys Rev Lett

March 2020

Physics Department, Brookhaven National Laboratory, Building 510A, Upton, New York 11973, USA.

We study inclusive and diffractive dijet production in electron-proton and electron-nucleus collisions within the color glass condensate effective field theory. We compute dijet cross sections differentially in both mean dijet transverse momentum P and recoil momentum Δ, as well as the anisotropy in the relative angle between P and Δ. Our results cover a much larger kinematic range than accessible in previous computations performed in the correlation limit approximation, where it is assumed that |P|≫|Δ|.

Protein structure determination with paramagnetic solid-state NMR spectroscopy.

Acc Chem Res

September 2013

Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, The Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio 43210, United States.

Many structures of the proteins and protein assemblies that play central roles in fundamental biological processes and disease pathogenesis are not readily accessible via the conventional techniques of single-crystal X-ray diffraction and solution-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). On the other hand, many of these challenging biological systems are suitable targets for atomic-level structural and dynamic analysis by magic-angle spinning (MAS) solid-state NMR spectroscopy, a technique that has far less stringent limitations on the molecular size and crystalline state. Over the past decade, major advances in instrumentation and methodology have prompted rapid growth in the field of biological solid-state NMR.
