Jan Uphoff (Goethe University Frankfurt)15/11/2012, 09:00Open charmFor the first time in ultra-relativistic heavy ion collisions it is possible at the LHC and also at RHIC to measure the suppression and flow of D mesons directly without any contribution from B mesons, giving direct and unbiased insight to the charm quark interactions with the quark gluon plasma. Model calculations and predictions for the nuclear modification factor and elliptic flow of D...Go to contribution page

Alessandro Grelli (University of Utrecht (NL))15/11/2012, 09:30Open charmThe properties of the hot and dense QCD medium formed in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions, as well as the mechanism of in-medium partonic energy loss, can be accessed via the measurement of the nuclear modification factor of particle production. The measurement of D meson production provides key tests of parton energy-loss models, which predict that charm quarks should experience...Go to contribution page

Andrea Festanti (Universita e INFN (IT))15/11/2012, 10:00The ALICE experiment at the LHC is dedicated to the study of ultra- relativistic heavy-ion collisions, with the aim of investigating the high-density color deconned state of strongly interacting matter that is expected to be formed in these collisions. Heavy quarks serve as a probe of the dynamics of the medium since they are produced at the early stages of the collisions and they...Go to contribution page

Andrea Beraudo (Universita e INFN (IT))15/11/2012, 11:00We present the updated outcomes of a theoretical study of heavy-flavor spectra in AA collisions. The core of the analysis is represented by the study of the propagation of heavy (c and b) quarks in the Quark Gluon Plasma: their dynamics is described through a relativistic Langevin equation, whose transport coefficients are evaluated within a thermal-field-theory approach. Results obtained with...Go to contribution page

Prof. Steffen A. Bass (Duke University)15/11/2012, 11:30Over the past year our group has studied heavy quark energy loss in the context of a Langevin approach. Main emphasis of our study was the question of heavy quark thermalization in a QGP medium as well as the dependence of the most common observables associated with heavy quark energy loss (R_AA and v_2) on various parameters of the medium evolution, to which our Langevin approach is coupled. ...Go to contribution page

Jaroslav Bielcik (Czech Technical University (CZ))15/11/2012, 12:00Open charmThe properties of the hot and dense nuclear matter produced at RHIC in heavy ion collisions can be investigated in multiple ways by heavy flavor production. In this talk, we will present the STAR results of open charm hadron production at mid-rapidity in $p+p$ and Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 200 GeV. Open charm mesons were reconstructed directly via hadronic decay channels...Go to contribution page

Iouri Vassiliev (GSI)15/11/2012, 12:30The Compressed Baryonic Matter (CBM) experiment at FAIR is designed to explore the QCD phase diagram in the region of high baryon densities and moderate temperatures. The key CBM observables include particles containing hidden charm – J/y and Y’, open charm – D0, D+ , D* and Lc, low-mass vector mesons decaying into leptons and multi-strange hyperons. Particularly demanding is the...Go to contribution page

Rafal Maciula (Institute of Nuclear Physics PAN)15/11/2012, 14:00Open charmI will discuss production of open charmed mesons in proton-proton collisions at the LHC. The cross section for inclusive production of $c \bar c$ pairs is calculated in the framework of the $k_{\perp}$-factorization approach. Taking wide range of $x$ values necessary for the calculation we use and test several unintegrated gluon distributions from the literature. Some of them include effect of...Go to contribution page
