High energy heavy ions are the source of a
flux of Weizs\"acker-Williams photons, which can be
utilized to study the photoproduction of vector mesons
on nuclear targets.
We discuss how information on the small-$x$ gluon
distribution in the nucleus can be obtained.
We present our calculations based on a $k_\perp$-factorization
approach which allows us to construct the unintegrated...

Charm and bottom quarks are very effective probes of the Quark Gluon
Plasma (QGP) created in heavy ion collisions as they are created in
the initial hard scattering and therefore fully traverse the hot
nuclear medium before fragmentation into the vacuum. Along with a
well-established baseline measurement, any observed modification to
heavy-ion heavy flavor spectra can yield insight into...

In high energy heavy-ion collisions heavy-flavour quarks are primarily produced in the early stage of the collision, through initial hard scatterings. This makes them an important probe of the high energy density QCD matter that is formed in the collision, since they should then experience the full evolution of the system. Heavy quarks can be studied through the measurements of open...
