The results of the CMS dijet measurements in pPb collisions will be discussed. The dijet pt ratio measurements can provide a limit on the magnitude of a possible jet quenching effect in pPb collisions. We find that the jets are not significantly modified by final state interactions. The result from inclusive centrality measurements are in good agreement with theoretical predictions based on...

One of the major goals of jet and high transverse momentum measurements in heavy-ion collisions is to quantify the medium-modified fragmentation of hard scattered partons. Here, the motivation for the reconstruction of jets, as compared to single particle measurements, is to gain a larger sensitivity to the possibly modified structure of the parton shower. It aims at the understanding of the...

At the beginning of 2013 ALICE collected data during the LHC p-Pb run at the energy of sqrt{sNN}=5.02 TeV. The measurement of D-meson production in this collision system is important to study the role of initial-state effects such as shadowing, saturation or k_T broadening. ALICE already measured a modification of the momentum distributions of charmed hadrons in central Pb-Pb collisions with...

We discuss the origin of the asymmetry present in $D$ meson production and its energy dependence.
In particular, we have applied the meson cloud model to calculate the asymmetries in $D^-/D^+$ meson production in
high energy $p-p$ collisions and find a good agreement with recent LHCb data.
Although small, this non-vanishing asymmetry may shed light on the role played by the charm...

We show that in asymmetric heavy-ion collisions, especially off-central Cu+Au collisions, a sizable strength of electric field directed from Au nucleus to Cu nucleus is generated in the overlapping region, because of the difference in the number of electric charges between the two nuclei. This electric field would induce an electric current in the matter created after the collision, which...
