17. Open charm production in heavy-ion collisions at CERN SPS

Ivan Pidhurskyi (Jan Kochanowski University (PL))

The study of open charm hadron production provides an efficient tool for detailed investigation of the properties of hot and dense matter formed in relativistic nucleus-nucleus collisions. In particular, charm mesons are of vivid interest in the context of the phase transition between confined hadronic matter and the quark-gluon plasma as well as for the interpretation of data on J/ψ...

7. Some physics of small collision systems

Thomas Trainor

In recent years certain experimental results from small collision systems (e.g. p-p, d-Au, p-Pb) at the RHIC and LHC have been reinterpreted as evidence for formation therein of a dense flowing medium (QGP) despite small collision volumes. Systems that had been assigned as simple references (e.g. cold nuclear matter) for larger A-A collisions would then no longer play that role. This...
