Constraining the $f_0(980)$ Structure and Formation Dynamics via Anisotropy-Response Scaling
A species-resolved anisotropy-response scaling framework is used to investigate the structure and formation dynamics of the $f_0(980)$ in relativistic nuclear collisions. Published measurements in high-multiplicity p+Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=8.16$~TeV exhibit broad scaling closure under a single-meson response c...
