LHCb is a spectrometer that covers the forward region of proton-proton collisions, corresponding to the pseudo-rapidity range 2<eta<5. In this unique phase space, LHCb can perform tests of perturbative and non-perturbative QCD models, by studying the production of heavy flavor quarks, like charm and top quarks. In this context the production of a Z boson in association with a c-jet can be...
The main goal of the STAR experiment is to study the properties of QCD matter at extreme conditions, high temperature and/or high density, by colliding heavy ions at ultra-relativistic speed. The yields and particle ratios of strange hadrons provide important information about the particle production mechanisms in these collisions. The RHIC Beam Energy Scan program covers a wide range of...
The world’s largest sample of J/ψ 1.3 billion events accumulated at the BESIII dector offers a unique opportunity to study light meson decays. In recent years the BESIII experiment has made significant progresses in eta/eta' decays, including observation of eta'->pi+pi- mu+mu-, search for the rare decays of eta’4pi0 and eta’gam gam eta as well as the search for CP violation in eta’pi+pi-...
