Quarkonia

The thermal suppression of heavy quark bound states represents an ideal observable for determining if one has produced a quark gluon plasma in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions. In recent years, however, a paradigm shift has taken place in the theory of quarkonium suppression due to new first principles calculations of the thermal widths of these states. These thermal widths are large, eg...

Quarkonia

ALICE (A Large Ion Collider Experiment), one of the four main experiments at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), was designed and built to perform dedicated research on heavy ion collisions to study the Quark Gluon Plasma (QGP), a deconfined state of strongly interacting QCD matter. As heavy flavours are produced on a very short time-scale in the initial hard scattering processes, they can be...

16. Measurement of the J/$\psi$ elliptic flow at forward rapidity in Pb-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 2.76 TeV with the ALICE experiment

Quarkonia

Heavy quark resonances, produced in high energy heavy-ion collisions, are important observables for the study of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) interactions at extreme energy-densities. Lattice QCD calculations predict a phase transition of the nuclear matter to Quark Gluon Plasma (QGP). The suppression (due to color screening mechanism) or enhancement (due to regeneration mechanism) of...
