The ALICE experiment is dedicated to study the properties of the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP) which is expected to be formed in ultra-relativistic heavy ion collisions. Measurements of hadron production in pp and p-Pb collisions are of importance to understand the properties of this hot and dense medium. In pp collisions, meson spectra serve as a reference for heavy-ion collisions and add...
EPOS3 is a minimum bias Monte-Carlo event generator used for Heavy Ion Collisions. It is successful in the description of particle spectra as well as flow-like observables and includes viscous hydrodynamics expansion, hadronic cascade, and heavy quark production.
In the beginning, we will present the general features of the model and show that multiple interactions play a central role for...
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...
Beauty production and phenomena in heavy-ion collisions are considered to be one of the key measurements to address the flavour-dependence of in-medium energy loss in PbPb collisions at the LHC. The CMS experiment has excellent capabilities for measuring b-quark production thanks to the excellent performances of its muon and tracker system, allowing the measurement of J/$\Psi$ mesons from B...
