Charmonium is an important to probe the properties of the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) created in heavy-ion collisions due to the modification of its yield by the effects of dissociation and regeneration in QGP. The production of $J/\psi$ in heavy ion collisions has been extensively studied at RHIC energies. However, many new observables studied at LHC energies are yet to be explored at RHIC...
Heavy quark thermalization in the quark-gluon plasma is one of the most promising phenomena for understanding the strong interaction, where their energy loss and momentum broadening at low momentum can be well described by a stochastic process with drag and diffusion terms. We propose an accelerated quantum circuit Monte-Carlo framework that utilizes the quantum amplitude estimation, the...
In this talk I will present recent progress of lattice calculation of the heavy quark diffusion coefficient.
Quarkonium production in high-energy proton-proton (pp) collisions is an important tool for studying perturbative and non-perturbative aspects of quantum chromodynamics (QCD). Charmonia are bound states of charm and anti-charm quarks and their production process can be factorized into two stages: the heavy quark production and the formation of the bound state. The former happens within initial...
Due to the longer relaxation time of heavy quarks compared to light quarks in the quark-gluon plasma, the non-equilibrium information is expected to be retained in the final momentum distribution of heavy flavors, making them suitable probes of the strongly interacting system. Using the Gribov-Zwanziger prescription to model the infrared behavior of QCD, we study the momentum diffusion...
The high-intensity beams provided by the CERN SPS in a wide energy interval offer a unique opportunity to investigate the region of the QCD phase diagram at high baryochemical potential. The NA60+ experiment, proposed for taking data with heavy-ion collisions at the SPS in the next years, has the strong potential to provide new insights into the QCD phase diagram via measurements of rare...
In this talk, I will report our recent progress on describing inclusive quarkonium production and polarization from $pp$, $\gamma p$, $\gamma\gamma$ collisions in the framework of nonrelativistic QCD factorization at next-to-leading order in $\alpha_s$ expansion.
