The determination of the centrality of nuclear collision or the value of the impact parameter of heavy nuclei is of great importance for the analysis of all experimental data and comparison with theory. One method is to measure the number…
We define the notion of critical points at infinity for the charged N-body problem, following the approach of Albouy 1993. We give a characterisation of such points and show how they can be found in the charged 3-body problem. The symmetry…
