Heavy flavor, dileptons and photons
Review
Heavy 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...

Heavy flavor, dileptons and photons
Experimental
The 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...

Baryons and strangeness
Experimental
Strange 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.

Non-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...

Heavy flavor, dileptons and photons
Experimental
The 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...
