An essential part of experimental program at the future Electron Ion Collider is the study of the nuclear structure and dynamics at low $x$. DIS at low $x$ is characterized by large longitudinal coherence length that by far exceeds radii of…
Strong pairing correlations are responsible for superconductivity and off-diagonal long range order in the two-particle density matrix. The antisymmetrized geminal power wave function was championed many years ago as the simplest model that…

We study the interaction potential between two polyions inside a colloidal suspension. It is shown that at large separation the interaction potential is purely repulsive, with the induced attractive interactions being doubly screened. For…
Despite decades of intensive studies, the effective interactions between strongly charged colloids still remain elusive. Here we show that a strongly charged surface with a layer of condensed counter- ions behaves effectively as a…
By decomposing the Coulomb interaction into a long distance component appropriate for mean-field theory, and a nonmean-field short distance component, we compute the counterion density near a charged surface for all values of the counterion…
Using molecular dynamics simulations we study the behavior of a dilute solution of strongly charged polyelectrolytes in poor solvents, where we take counterions explicitly into account. We focus on the chain conformational properties under…
One of the most interesting and important phenomena predicted to occur in heavy-ion collisions is the local strong parity violation. In non-central collisions, it is expected to result in charge separation of produced particles along the…
We evaluate exactly the statistical integral for an inhomogeneous one-dimensional counterion-only Coulomb gas between two charged boundaries and from this compute the effective interaction, or disjoining pressure, between the bounding…
Model macroion solutions next to a charged wall show interface \textit{true overcharging}, charge reversal and inversion, and layering. Macroion layering is present, even if the wall or the macroparticle are \textit{uncharged} or if the…
The self-assembly of binary nanoparticle superlattices from colloidal mixtures is a promising method for the fabrication of complex colloidal co-crystal structures. However, binary mixtures often form amorphous or metastable phases instead…
We review recent work on the phase behaviour of binary charged sphere mixtures as a function of particle concentration and composition. Both size ratios and charge ratios are varied over a wide range. By contrast to hard spheres the long…
A recent publication reports that heavy-ion fusion cross sections at extreme subbarrier energies show a continuous change of their logarithmic slope with decreasing energy, resulting in a much steeper excitation function compared with…

In nodal-line semimetals, Coulomb interactions and short-range correlated disorder are both marginal perturbations to the clean non-interacting Hamiltonian. We analyze their interplay using a weak-coupling renormalization group approach. In…
Based on a reconsideration of the Gibbs paradox, we show that a residual, non-extensive term in entropy turns up upon mixing identical particles, whether they are indistinguishable or not. The positive contribution from this residual…
