In these set of lectures we review the modern tools used to compute the quark and gluon distributions within hadrons in general, and the proton in particular. We begin with a review of deep inelastic scattering, and factorization theorems. We then introduce the definitions of parton distribution functions (PDFs), generalized PDFs (GPDs), and transverse-momentum dependent PDFs (TMDPDFs), and...
The formation of the QGP occurs at extremely high temperatures and/or high densities, which can be reached in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions as provided by the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN (Organization Européenne pour la Recherches Nucléaires). Collisions of heavy nuclei at the LHC provide abundant production of heavy flavour probes, which can be used to answer some critical...
In this presentation recent extractions of the speed of sound in hot QCD matter are discussed. The measurements are performed using two different analysis techniques, which are applied in PbPb collisions at the LHC with center-of-mass energy per nucleon pair of 2.76 and 5.02 TeV. Special focus to the experimental techniques and prospects for future measurements will be given.
I will give a series lectures that covers the fundamentals and current frontier of studying the collective behavior of the Quark Gluon Plasma (QGP) produced in relativistic heavy-ion collisions.

The LHCb experiment at CERN has collected a large, high-quality dataset of proton-proton collisions during run 1 and run2. It has proven to be a very prolific player in the field of hadron physics, with important contribution on the production and properties of both conventional and exotic QCD states. Here we present some of the most recent and important results from LHCb in this area.
The quark-gluon plasma produced in heavy-ion collisions is a state of matter where quarks and gluons are, for a few instants, in a deconfined state, not bound inside hadrons. The deconfinement is driven by an extremely high temperature produced in the collisions. Besides the high temperature, it is expected that non-central collisions produce the highest magnetic fields we know in nature or in...

This work explores meson and isolated photon production in high-multiplicity proton-proton (pp) collisions at fixed energy and forward rapidities using the Color Glass Condensate (CGC) framework with running coupling Balitsky-Kovchegov (BK) solutions for the unintegrated gluon distribution. Self-normalized yields of these particles are studied as a function of charged hadron multiplicity and...
One of the key ingredients for describing chiral symmetry breaking and quark mass generation is the quark-gluon vertex. In this work, we determine the transversely-projected quark-gluon vertex in unquenched QCD with two degenerate light dynamical quarks in the Landau gauge. This is accomplished by solving the Schwinger-Dyson equation within the 3PI effective action formalism, employing lattice...

The QCD phase diagram still has various unsettled features predicted by theoretical efforts. Experimental data should eventually confirm possible states in extreme environments. Recently, promising data become available from the astrophysical observation of neutron stars. In this lecture, I will summarize expected extreme states at high baryon density and introduce useful constraints on...
The phase transition from hadronic to quark matter may take place
already during the early post-bounce stage of core collapse supernovae and in
neutron star mergers. If the phase transition is of first order, the formation of
the quark matter phase occurs via the nucleation of droplets. The timescales
relevant for the phase conversion dynamics, as well as the possibility of
mixed phases,...
The Lednický-Lyuboshitz formalism was claimed to inadequately describe the proton-deuteron femtoscopy correlation function measured by the ALICE collaboration in high-multiplicity p+p collisions. This result motivated a full three-particle description involving a composite deuteron, leading to a much better agreement with the experimental data. Building on the two-body approach, we solve the...
In the past two decades, a plethora of hadronic states beyond the conventional quark model of qqbar mesons and qqq baryons have been observed experimentally, which motivated extensive studies to understand their nature and the non-perturbative strong interaction. Since most of these exotic states are located near the mass thresholds of pairs of conventional hadrons, the prevailing picture is...

The lattice formulation allows a first principles nonperturbative study of Yang-Mills theories (and, in particular, QCD) via statistical mechanics methods, at the price of a very high computational investment. Today, lattice simulations have become a key input in precision tests of standard model phenomenology, including the determination of the muon g-2 factor. At the same time, some lesser...
An important component that can directly affect the description of astrophysical and cosmological systems is dark matter (DM), whose fundamental nature is not completely understood at the moment. The current understanding predicts that 27% of the Universe is made of dark matter, 68% of dark energy (the main component that explains the accelerated expansion of the Universe), and only 5% of...
