The measurement of heavy flavour production is a powerful tool to study the properties of the high-density QCD medium created in heavy-ion collisions as heavy quarks are sensitive to the transport properties of the medium and may interact with the QCD matter differently from light quarks. In particular, the comparison between the nuclear modification factors (RAA) of light- and heavy-flavour...
Charm and bottom quarks provide a powerful tool to study the properties of the hot, dense medium created in heavy ion collisions, and in particular may help differentiate between initial and final state effects in large collision systems. Measurements of open heavy flavour particle and quarkonia production, including their prompt and non-prompt components, and their correlations with light...
Open and hidden charm production in nucleus-nucleus collisions is considered as a key signature of Quark Gluon Plasma formation, but is also affected by cold nuclear matter effects, that can be studied by observing heavy flavour production in systems of different size and at different energy scale.
We present the latest LHCb production measurements of exclusive charmed and strange hadrons in...
Electroweak bosons produced in p+Pb and Pb+Pb collisions are excellent tools to probe a variety of initial state effects on hard processes involving nuclei. These effects include the nuclear modification of the partonic momentum structure and the energy loss of the incoming partons participating in a hard scattering. These probes are also important for serving as a standard candle against...
A typical approach to study the medium produced in heavy ion collisions is to understand the passage of elementary particles through it. As Photons and Z bosons do not participate in the strong interaction, their correlation with jets within the same event is a clean probe of the medium-induced energy loss of (predominantly) quark jets. In this talk, Z+jet and photon+jet correlations are...
