52. Low-Mass Dielectron Production in pp, p-Pb and Pb-Pb Collisions with ALICE

Carsten Klein, Goethe University Frankfurt,
on behalf of the ALICE Collaboration

Electron-positron pairs (dielectrons)
are an excellent experimental probe to investigate the properties of the quark-gluon plasma formed in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collions. Because they do not interact strongly, their spectra reflect the entire
space-time evolution of the collision. The created medium...

67. Measurements of electron production from heavy flavor decays in p+p and Au+Au collisions at √𝐬NN = 200 GeV at STAR

Heavy quarks are predominantly produced at early stages of high-energy heavy-ion collisions due to their large masses. Studies of interactions between heavy quarks and Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP) in various collision centralities can provide new insights to the properties of QGP. Heavy quark production in p+p collisions is a baseline to similar measurements in heavy-ion collisions and is expected...

28. Non-equilibrium dilepton production in hadronic transport approaches

Jan Staudenmaier (Goethe University Frankfurt (FIAS))

In this talk the non-equilibrium dilepton production from a hadronic transport approach (SMASH) is presented. The dilepton emission from the hadronic stage is of interest for current HADES results measured at GSI in the beam energy range from 1.25 - 3.5 GeV. Also at high collision energies (RHIC/LHC) the later dilute stages of the reaction are dominated by hadronic dynamics.

First, the...

33. Open heavy-flavour and electroweak boson measurements via the (di-)muonic decay channel with ALICE at the LHC

Kgotlaesele Senosi (University of Cape Town (ZA))

Heavy flavours (charm and beauty) and electroweak bosons (W and Z) are produced in initial hard partonic scatterings. The former interact strongly with the medium formed in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions throughout its evolution, thus making them well suited to investigate its properties. Furthermore, heavy-flavour measurements in proton-nucleus collisions can be used to investigate...
