Parallel 10: heavy quarks in medium
- Steffen Bass (Duke University)
The latest measurement of bottom baryon-to-meson production ratio [1], $\Lambda_b/B$, in proton-proton collisions at the LHC, shows a continuous evolution from the saturation value toward the small value identified in electron-positron collisions as the system size reduces. We address this in a canonical ensemble statistical hadronization model, and demonstrate that the decreasing trend of...
Production measurements of strange hadrons originating from the hadronisation of charm quarks (prompt) and from beauty-hadron decays (non-prompt) offer a unique tool to study the heavy-quark hadronisation across different collision systems. The comparisons between the measurements of charm hadrons with and without a strange valence quark in proton-proton (pp) and proton-lead (p-Pb) collisions...
Charm quarks produced in the initial stages of relativistic heavy-ion collisions serve as crucial probes of the produced medium, including the pre-equilibrium and hydrodynamic stages of the evolution. We simulate relativistic heavy-ion collisions using a hybrid method that integrates a fluctuating IP-Glasma initial state with subsequent viscous hydrodynamics. Utilizing the MARTINI event...
High-energy proton-nucleus (pA) collisions have provided intriguing playgrounds for disentangling various cold nuclear matter effects on hadron production. Multiple rescatterings in the cold nuclear target induce many soft gluons that have a long formation time, resulting in the modification of hadron production rates due to fully coherent energy loss (FCEL). Medium-induced FCEL has proven to...
