Mr Daniel Kikola (Warsaw University of Technology)26/09/2014, 09:05Heavy flavor, dileptons and photonsReviewHeavy quarks are produced early in the heavy-ion collisions and they are expected to interact differently from light quarks with the Quark Gluon Plasma (QGP); therefore, they are unique probes of the QGP properties. Their production and elliptic flow are sensitive to the medium dynamics. These measurements for open heavy flavor sector are crucial for understanding the parton energy loss...Go to contribution page

Jan Wagner (GSI - Helmholtzzentrum fur Schwerionenforschung GmbH (DE))26/09/2014, 09:40Heavy flavor, dileptons and photonsExperimentalThe characterisation of the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP), the deconfined state of strongly-interacting matter produced in high-energy heavy-ion collisions, is the main purpose of ALICE at the LHC. The medium can be probed by charm and beauty quarks since they are produced in initial hard partonic interactions and experience its complete evolution. The transverse momentum, $p_{\rm T}$, distribution...Go to contribution page

Mrs Priyanka Sett (Bhabha Atomic Research Center)26/09/2014, 10:30Baryons and strangenessExperimentalStrange hadrons are among the most interesting probes of the quark-gluon-plasma, created in the collisions of heavy ions at relativistic energy. The PHENIX experiment at RHIC has measured invariant transverse momentum spectra and nuclear modification factor ($R_{AA}$) of strange mesons K^{*0} and K^{0}_{S}, in $p$+$p$, $d$+Au and Cu+Cu collisions at center of mass energy 200 GeV. The...Go to contribution page

Ms Olga Rusňáková (CTU Prague)26/09/2014, 10:50Heavy flavor, dileptons and photonsExperimentalNon-Photonic Electron Measurement With STAR Experiment Olga Rusňáková (for the STAR Collaboration) Heavy quarks, primarily produced in initial hard scattering processes at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), are important tools for understanding the properties of the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP). The heavy quark interaction with the QGP can be studied through non-photonic electrons...Go to contribution page

Martin Andreas Volkl (Ruprecht-Karls-Universitaet Heidelberg (DE))26/09/2014, 11:10Heavy flavor, dileptons and photonsExperimentalThe ALICE Collaboration at the LHC studies nucleus-nucleus collisions with the aim of investigating the properties of the high energy-density state of strongly-interacting matter produced in heavy-ion collisions, the Quark Gluon Plasma (QGP). Heavy quarks (charm and beauty) are an effective probe to investigate the properties of the QGP. They are produced almost exclusively in the...Go to contribution page
