Parallel Session 7.4: Open Heavy Flavors (II)
- Andre Mischke (Utrecht University (NL))
Heavy flavor quarks have been suggested as excellent probes to study the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP) created in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions. Significant suppression of open heavy flavor production at large tranverse momentum has been observed in Au+Au collisions relative to p+p collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 200 GeV at RHIC. Such a suppression can be attributed to the energy losses...
Heavy quarks, i.e. charm and beauty, are sensitive probes to study the properties of the strongly-interacting matter created in heavy-ion collisions at ultra-relativistic energies, since they are mainly produced in initial hard scattering processes and experience the entire evolution of the system.
The heavy quarks traversing the medium lose energy via collisional and radiative processes in...
The energy loss of jets in heavy-ion collisions is expected to depend on the mass and flavor of the initiating parton. Thus, measurements of jet quenching with identified partons place powerful constraints on the thermodynamic and transport properties of the hot and dense medium. We present recent result on heavy flavor jet spectra and nuclear modification factors of jets associated to charm...
ATLAS measurements are presented on the production of muons from heavy-flavor decays in $\sqrt{s_{\mathrm{NN}}}$ = 2.76 TeV Pb+Pb collisions and $\sqrt{s}$ = 2.76 TeV $pp$ collisions at the LHC. The measurements are performed over the transverse momentum range 4 <$p_{\mathrm {T}}$< 14 GeV and over the 0-60% centrality interval. Backgrounds arising from in-flight pion and kaon decays, hadronic...
Hadrons carrying heavy flavor (charm and bottom quarks) are a sensitive probe of the hot, dense medium created in high-energy nuclear collisions at RHIC because they are generated early in the reaction and subsequently propagate through the created matter.
The PHENIX experiment has measured inclusive open heavy flavor via the measurement of electrons from semi-leptonic decays of hadrons...
Experimental data from heavy ion collisions at Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) and Large Hadron Collider (LHC) as well as first-principle lattice simulations, have provided rich information about the properties of the QCD plasma phase in the $1\sim 3 T_c$ regime. In particular, extensive jet energy loss measurements have allowed unique opportunity for probing the “internal working” of...
