Supervised learning with a deep convolutional neural network is used to identify the QCD equation of state (EoS) employed in relativistic hydrodynamic simulations of heavy-ion collisions. The final-state particle spectra \rho(p_T,\Phi) provide directly accessible information from experiments. High-level correlations of \rho(p_T,\Phi) learned by the neural network act as an "EoS-meter",...

Studies of particle yields and azimuthal correlations for inclusive and identified charged particles are presented in small collision systems of pp and pPb at the LHC with the CMS detector. Charged pions, kaons, and protons are identified via their energy loss in the CMS silicon tracker. The pT spectra and integrated yields are studied as a function of multiplicity and center-of-mass energies....

Identified particle spectra provide an important tool for understanding the particle production mechanism and the dynamical evolution of the medium created in relativistic heavy ion collisions. Studies involving strange and multi-strange hadrons, such as $K^0_S$, $\Lambda$, $\Xi^-$, and $\Omega^-$, carry additional information since there is no net strangeness content in the initial colliding...

The aim of our work is to develop a unified equation of state (EoS) for nuclear and quark matter for a wide range in temperature, density and isospin so that it becomes applicable for heavy-ion collisions as well as for the astrophysics of neutron stars, their mergers and supernova explosions. As a first step, we use improved EoS for the hadronic and quark matter phases and join them via...

Charm production in proton-proton collisions can be described by perturbative QCD calculations down to low transverse momentum ($p_\mathrm{T} \sim 0$), due to the large mass of the charm quark ($m_c >> \Lambda_{QCD}$). The measurement of charm production is thus important to constrain theoretical predictions. In p-Pb collisions, the study of charm production can help disentangle cold nuclear...

The string melting version of a multi-phase transport model is often applied to high energy heavy ion collisions since the formed dense matter is expected to be in parton degrees of freedom. In this work we improve its quark coalescence component, which describes the hadronization of the partonic matter to a hadronic matter. We have removed the previous constraint that forced the numbers of...
