Oral Presentation
The STAR Collaboration is scheduled to complete the Heavy Flavor Tracker (HFT) and the Muon Telescope Detector (MTD) upgrades by 2014. These detectors will greatly enhance the STAR physics capability to measure heavy quark collectivity and correlations using topologically reconstructed charm hadrons and heavy quark decay e-muon correlations. In addition, measurements of the quarkonium muon...

The past decade of heavy ion physics at RHIC has produced many
surprising discoveries and puzzles. Currently the experiments at the
LHC are providing a first look at things to come: a burgeoning program
for studying the Quark Gluon Plasma with reconstructed jets. The
PHENIX collaboration is in the process of developing a long term plan
involving a series of aggressive upgrades designed to...

At the LHC the ALICE experiment is taking data in p+p, p+A and A+A collisions, which is providing unique insights on strongly interacting matter at an unprecedented energy density. Many important questions in heavy-ion physics will, however, remain unanswered in this first running period up to 2017. Only by increasing the luminosity beyond 10^27 and exploiting recent advances in technology...

During 12 years of operations, PHENIX has discovered a strongly coupled QGP and studied many of its basic properties, examined effects in cold nuclear matter, measured the gluon helicity structure of the proton, and probed the proton transverse spin structure. PHENIX is planning a large upgrade for the next decade, sPHENIX, to answer many of the questions spurred by our discoveries during the...

The major long-term goal of the ALICE experiment at the LHC is to provide precision measurements of the properties of the Quark-Gluon Plasma, the state of deconfined matter produced in high-energy heavy-ion collisions. Experiments towards the characterisation of strongly interacting matter at high density will need to focus on rare probes and the study of their collective properties and...

Oral Presentation
The Compressed Baryonic Matter (CBM) Experiment will explore the phase diagram of strongly interacting matter in the region of high net baryon densities. The experiment is laid out to process nuclear collisions at rates up to 10 MHz, the highest in the field. A unique wide spectrum of observables will be accessible, including rarest probes like hadrons containing charm quarks, or multi-strange...
