The heavy quarks are one of the most versatile probes of the strongly
coupled QCD medium created in the heavy ion collision experiments.
However, the interactions of the heavy quarks or heavy quark bound
states with the strongly coupled medium is still not well understood.
One of the ways to look at such interactions is to study the behaviour
of open charm hadrons in the thermalized...

PHENIX has measured single electrons from charm and bottom decays at
midrapidity in Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$=200 GeV.
Previous heavy-flavor electron measurements have indicated
substantial modification of the momentum distribution of the parent
heavy-flavor hadrons. Using the PHENIX barrel silicon-vertex tracker
(VTX) to measure displaced vertices precisely, the...

The mass of charm quarks is larger than the scales of the medium
created in heavy-ion collisions at RHIC energies (mc >>
ΛQCD, T, mu,d,s ). Therefore, charm production
is mainly feasible in the primordial nucleon-nucleon collisions and
experience all the subsequent stages of the medium evolution. The
modification of charm quark production in heavy -ion...

Heavy quarks, i.e. charm and beauty, are sensitive probes of the medium
produced in high-energy heavy-ion collisions. They are produced in the early
stage of the collisions and are expected to experience the whole history of
the collision evolution interacting with the medium constituents via both
elastic and inelastic processes.
The nuclear modification factor ($R_{\rm AA}$) and...

The study of beauty production in heavy-ion collisions is considered one of the key measurement to address the flavour-dependence of in-medium energy loss in PbPb collisions. In pPb collisions, studies of b-quark production can also provide insights into the relevance of cold nuclear matter effects in the heavy-flavour sector. The CMS experiment has excellent capabilities for measuring b-quark...

Heavy mesons are one of the few probes which allow for studying the properties of a plasma of quarks and gluons (QGP) created in ultra-relativistic heavy ion collisions. To do this we have to follow the heavy quarks from their production point through the QGP up to the final rescattering of heavy mesons with hadrons after the hadronization.
The interaction of heavy quarks in the QPG is...
