NA61/SHINE is a fixed target experiment at the CERN Super-Proton-Synchrotron. The main goals of the experiment are to discover the critical point of strongly interacting matter and to study the properties of the onset of deconfinement. In order to reach these goals, a study of hadron production properties is performed in nucleus-nucleus, proton-proton and proton-nucleus interactions as a...
In ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions at RHIC, a new state of nuclear matter -- strongly interacting Quark Gluon Plasma is created under extreme condotions. Owing to their large masses, heavy quarks are predominantly produced at early stages of collisions hence prove an exceptional probe for exploring properties of the hot and dense medium.
The Heavy Flavor Tracker and Muon Telescope...
