Heavy flavour particle correlations

18. Exclusive coherent production of heavy vector mesons in nucleus-nucleus collisions

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...

40. Heavy flavour correlation measurements in pp and Pb-Pb collisions with ALICE

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...

67. From the RAA to azimuthal correlations: what can we learn from heavy-quark observables?

The observation of strong jet quenching and the suppression of high-$p_t$ hadrons in relativistic heavy-ion collisions are striking experimental signatures for the formation of a deconfined QCD plasma in which partons suffer from medium-induced energy loss. In particular, heavy quarks are considered as suitable probes for revealing the properties of the produced matter as they are created...
