Heavy quarks represent a fundamental probe for investiganting the properties of hot and dense QCD matter created at Ultra-Relativistic Heavy Ion Collisions.
They are created at early stages of collisions and due to their large masses they do no thermalize with the bulk medium. Thus they conserve memory of propagation throw the entire space-time evolution of the QGP.
The two key observables...
Heavy quarks (charm and beauty) are interesting probes for the study of the properties of the hot and dense matter created in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions, known as the Quark-Gluon Plasma. Indeed, being mainly produced at the early stage of the collision, they experience the whole collision history. For this purpose, the production of several heavy-flavour mesons, $\mathrm{D^{0}}$,...
In heavy-ion collisions the energy loss of heavy quarks is an interesting quantity for the investigation of the properties of the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP). Heavy quarks are produced almost exclusively in the initial hard interactions. Thus, they can interact with the surrounding matter throughout its evolution. A comparison of measurements in Pb--Pb and p--Pb collisions helps to separate...
The production of quarkonia in high-energy heavy-ion collisions is
expected to be sensitive to the energy density of the medium due to
color screening of the quark-antiquark binding potential. Sequential
suppression of different quarkonium states may therefore serve as a
thermometer of the medium. Although the suppression of charmonia was
anticipated as a key signature of the quark-gluon...
The production of heavy quarkonia has been extensively used to probe Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP) created in heavy ion collisions. The suppression of $J/\psi$ in a deconfined medium due to Debye color screening of the charm quark potential has been proposed as a signature of the QGP formation. Interpretation of $J/\psi$ suppression requires good understandings of both its production mechanism in...
