    Recent measurements of two–particle correlations in high–multiplicity p–Pb collisions at √sNN = 5.02 TeV revealed a long–range structure (large separation in ∆η) at the near– (∆φ ≃ 0) and away–side (∆φ ≃ π) of the triggering particle [1, 2, 3]. At LHC energies, these ridge–like structures have already been observed in Pb–Pb collisions [4], but also in high–multiplicity pp collisions [5]. In...

    The ATLAS experiment has studied the centrality dependence of global event characteristics in proton-lead collisions at sqrt(s_NN)=5.02 TeV. A total integrated luminosity of 30nb-1 was collected during LHC proton-lead runs in the fall and winter of 2012-13. The centrality of proton-lead collisions was characterized using the total transverse energy measured in the ATLAS forward calorimeter on...

    Talk presentation
    Measurements of two- and four-particle angular correlations for charged particles emitted in pPb collisions are presented over a wide range in pseudorapidity and full azimuth at CMS. The results are compared to 2.76 TeV semi-peripheral PbPb collision data, collected during the 2011 PbPb run, covering a similar range of particle multiplicities. The observed correlations are characterized by the...

    There is little doubt that flow has been observed in heavy ion collisions at the LHC and RHIC, mainly based on results on azimuthal anisotropies, but also on particle spectra of identified particles, perfectly compatible with hydrodynamic expansions. Surprisingly, in pPb collisions one observes a quite similar behavior. So do we observe hydrodynamic dynamics as well in pPb? We will try to...

    We estimate the electromagnetic effect of the spectator charge on azimuthal anisotropies observed in heavy ion collisions. For peripheral Pb+Pb reactions at the top energy of the CERN Super Proton Synchrotron, $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=17.3$ GeV, we predict this effect to bring very large distortions to the observed directed flow, $v_1$, of positive and negative pions emitted close to beam...

    With a unique forward acceptance, and excellent vertexing and particle identification capability, LHCb is well-placed to make important contributions to heavy ion physics through measurements performed using data taken during pA and Ap collisions. The first studies of these data will be presented. These include measurements of particle multiplicity and studies of strange and charmed...

    Spectra of inclusive and identified charged hadrons measured in p-Pb collisions at the LHC at sqrt(sNN) = 5 TeV are presented. Charged pions, kaons, and protons in the transverse-momentum range pT = 0.1-1.7 GeV/c and for central rapidities are identified via their energy loss in the CMS silicon tracker. Inclusive charged hadron spectra are studied as a function of pseudorapidity. The fully...

    We show that a very powerful Slavnov-Taylor (ST) identity exists for the Effective Field Theory (EFT) of the Color Glass Condensate (CGC), allowing to control by purely algebraic means the full dependence on the background fields of the ultra-fast gluon modes, as well as the correlators of the quantum fluctuations of the classical gluon source. We use this formalism to study the change of...

    Talk presentation
    Hadrons containing heavy flavours are unique probes of the properties of the hot and dense QCD medium produced in heavy ion collisions. Due to their large masses, heavy quarks are produced at the initial stage of the collision, almost exclusively via hard partonic scattering processes. Therefore, they are expected to experience the full collision history propagating through and interacting...

    Talk presentation
    In relativistic heavy ion collisions at RHIC, heavy quarks are expected to be created from initial hard scatterings. Their large masses are not easily affected by the strong interaction with QCD medium, thus they carry clean information from the system at early stage. The interaction between heavy quarks and the medium is sensitive to the medium dynamics, therefore heavy quarks are suggested...

    Hot and dense matter in which quarks and gluons are deconfined is created in heavy-ion collisons at RHIC. The properties of this strongly interacting matter, Quark-Gluon Plasma, could be studied using heavy quarks, namely charm and bottom. Due to their large masses, they are produced during the initial phase of heavy ion collisions via gluon fusion. Non-photonic electrons (NPE) are mainly...

    The heavy charm and bottom quarks and the associated open heavy-flavor mesons (D and B) are a valuable probe for the interactions in the hot and dense medium created in heavy-ion collisions. They are produced in the primordial hard collisions of partons within the nuclei and then traverse the hot and dense partonic (QGP) and hadronic (hadron gas) medium, which shows collective behavior,...

    The ALICE experiment at the LHC studies Pb-Pb, pp, and p-Pb collisions with the aim of investigating the properties of the high-density state of strongly-interacting matter, expected to be produced in Pb-Pb collisions.

    The unprecedented high collision energies at the Large Hadron Collider give rise to a significant production of light anti- and hyper-nuclei in proton-proton and, even more, in Pb-Pb collisions.

    The exploration of the QCD phase diagram and particularly the search for a phase transition from hadronic to partonic degrees of freedom and possibly a critical endpoint, is one of the most challenging tasks in present heavy-ion physics. As observed by the NA49 experiment, several hadronic observables in central Pb+Pb collisions at the CERN SPS show qualitative changes in their energy...

    The effective potential of the order parameter for confinement is calculated for SU(N) Yang-Mills theory in the Hamiltonian approach. Compactifying one spatial dimension and using a background gauge fixing, this potential is obtained within a variational approach by minimizing the energy density for given background field. Thereby, the inverse length of the compactified dimension represents...

    Ultra-relativistic heavy ion collisions produce strongly interacting matter at high temperature and energy density. Under such extreme conditions a deconfined partonic phase called Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP) is formed. The measurement of quarkonia (charmonia and bottomonia) is expected to provide essential information on the QGP properties. In pp collisions high precision data serve as...

    The effects of parton energy loss in cold nuclear matter on heavy-quarkonium suppression in p-A collisions are studied. It is shown from first principles that at large quarkonium energy E and small production angle in the nucleus rest frame, the medium-induced energy loss scales as E. Using this result, a phenomenological model depending on a single free parameter is able to reproduce J/psi...

    Jets are collimated sprays of particles arising from the fragmentation of hard-scattered partons in high-energy collisions. In collisions of heavy nuclei, jets serve as probes of the hot and dense nuclear matter created, and the study of the modification of their structure due to interaction with the surrounding medium (known as "jet quenching") is an important tool for understanding the...

    Hadron production in relativistic heavy ion collisions usually consists of two main channels in the intermediate-pT region at RHIC and LHC energies: parton coalescence/recombination and jet fragmentation.
