The lifetimes of short-lived hadronic resonances are comparable to that of the hadronic phase which is present in the late stages of the evolution of heavy-ion collisions. Thus, these resonances are sensitive to the re-scattering and regeneration processes in the time interval between the chemical and kinetic freeze-out, which might affect the observed resonance yields. Recently, the...
The production of hadronic resonances such as K*(892)$^{0}$, $\phi$(1020), $\Sigma$(1385)$^{±}$, $\Lambda$(1520) and $\Xi(1530)^{0}$ has been measured as a function of multiplicity by the ALICE experiment in pp and p-Pb collisions at various energies at the LHC. These resonances differ by mass and strangeness content and thus can be used to provide insights on the mechanisms driving the...
The suppression of heavy quarkonia states in heavy-ion collisions is a phenomenon understood as a consequence of QGP
formation in the hot, dense system produced in interactions of heavy ions at high energy. In addition to hot matter
effects, cold nuclear effects can play an important role in quarkonia production. Therefore, a full assessment of
different physics scenarios requires detailed...
Quarkonia are excellent probes of the rich physics at play in heavy ion collisions. They are sensitive to a wide variety of effects, such as sequential melting and regeneration in the QGP and its hydrodynamic evolution, but also shadowing, energy loss and comovers effects. We will review recent results on charmonium (pT > 3 GeV) and bottomonium (pT > 0 GeV) production in pp, pPb and PbPb...
Given the relatively small hadronic interaction cross section, $\phi$ meson production provides a unique and complimentary method for exploring the hot and dense medium properties created in the relativistic heavy ion collisions. PHENIX measured $\phi$ production in a wide range of transverse momentum and rapidity in many collision systems. This talk will focus on the $\phi$ measurements at...
Femtoscopic correlations of two non-identical particles have a unique
feature, differentiating them from "traditional" identical particle
correlations, of being sensitive to the difference in average emission
position of the two particle types. For pion-kaon pairs the
femtoscopic signal arises from Coulomb interaction between particles.
Its strength is comparable to the magnitude of...
