Hadronic physics
- Charles-Joseph Naïm (Université Paris-Saclay (FR))
At very high energy densities, matter undergoes a phase transition from confined states called hadrons to a soup of their constituents, called the quark gluon plasma. The QGP can be artificially produced in heavy ion collisions. It is studied using different probes, one of which is charmonium states. The talk will show results from the CMS collaboration at CERN regarding charmonium production...
Generalized Parton Distributions (GPDs) describe the correlations between the longitudinal
momentum and the transverse position of the partons inside the nucleon. They give access to the
contribution of the orbital momentum of the quarks to the nucleon spin. They are nowadays the
subject of an intense effort of research, in the perspective of understanding nucleon structure. GPDs
have been...
ALICE experiment at LHC studies through ultra-relativistic heavy ion collisions, a deconfined state of matter, the Quark Gluon Plasma (QGP). This state raises many questions about mechanisms of strong interaction and the cohesion of matter. Moreover, QGP is an extremely hot and dense state that behaves more like a nearly ideal, strongly interacting fluid and it can represents the universe at...
