The ALICE detector provides excellent capabilities to study quarkonium production at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Quarkonia, bound states of heavy (charm or bottom) quark anti-quark pairs such as the J/psi, are expected to be produced by initial hard processes. Thus they will provide insight into the earliest and hottest stages of A-A collisions where the formation of a...

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...

The ALICE apparatus at the LHC was designed and built to perform dedicated studies of the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP), a strongly interacting QCD matter deconfined state, expected to be created in high energy heavy-ion collisions. In such collisions heavy flavours are produced at the very early stage of the interaction in the initial hard scattering processes and hence can be used to...

(for the STAR Collaboration) Recent RHIC measurements support that a strongly coupled nuclear matter with parton degree of freedom has been created in relativistic heavy-ion collisions. However, the thermalization of such a hot and dense medium is still unclear. Heavy quarks are expected to be created from initial hard scatterings. Their large masses are not easily affected by the...
