111. Beauty production in heavy-ion collisions with ALICE at the LHC

Xinye Peng (China University of Geosciences)

06/04/2022, 12:10

Heavy flavors, quarkonia, and strangeness production

Oral presentation

In this contribution, the final measurements of the centrality dependence of $R_{\rm AA}$ of non-prompt $\mathrm{D}^0$ and electrons from beauty hadron decays in Pb-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}$ = 5.02 TeV will be presented. These measurements provide important constraints to the in-medium mass-dependent energy loss and hadronization of the beauty quark. The integrated non-prompt...

Heavy flavors, quarkonia, and strangeness production

Oral presentation

Evidence for the production of top quarks in heavy ion collisions is reported in a data sample of lead-lead collisions recorded in 2018 by the CMS experiment at a nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s_{_{\mathrm{NN}}}} =$ 5.02 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $1.7\pm0.1\,\mathrm{nb}^{-1}$. Top quark pair ($\mathrm{t\bar{t}}$) production is measured in events with...

481. The statistical hadronization model and beauty hadrons: a case for partial equilibration of b-quarks?

Anton Andronic (Westfaelische Wilhelms-Universitaet Muenster (DE))

06/04/2022, 12:50

Heavy flavors, quarkonia, and strangeness production

Oral presentation

We make predictions for rapidity densities of beauty hadrons produced in Pb-Pb collisions at LHC energy. The approach follows that outlined for charm in JHEP 07 (2021) 035, with the canonical suppression as an important ingredient. The hadronic mass spectrum is taken from PDG 2020, with 48 b mesons and 46 b baryons in total. As further input we use the measured cross section for...

109. Charm production: constraint to transport models and charm diffusion coefficient with ALICE

Lucas Anne Vermunt (Utrecht University (NL))

07/04/2022, 09:00

Heavy flavors, quarkonia, and strangeness production

Oral presentation

In this contribution the nuclear modification factor ($R_\mathrm{AA}$) of prompt charm hadrons and heavy-flavour hadrons decaying to leptons measured in Pb-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_\mathrm{NN}}=5.02$ TeV by the ALICE Collaboration are presented. The measurement of heavy-flavour leptons in Xe-Xe collisions is also discussed. Heavy quarks are a very suitable probe to investigate the quark-gluon...

953. Measurements of heavy-flavor quark probes of the QGP with the ATLAS detector

Qipeng Hu (Lawrence Livermore Nat. Laboratory (US))

07/04/2022, 09:20

Heavy flavors, quarkonia, and strangeness production

Oral presentation

Open heavy-flavor hadron production, azimuthal anisotropy and correlations in heavy-ion collisions serve as powerful tools to study quark-gluon plasma (QGP) properties, heavy-flavor energy loss due to interaction with QGP, and heavy-flavor hadronization.
This talk presents recent ATLAS results on the azimuthal anisotropy ($v_2$ and $v_3$) and nuclear modification factor ($R_\mathrm{AA}$),...

249. Detailed study of Upsilon suppression with the measurement of the $\Upsilon$(3S) meson in PbPb collisions at 5.02 TeV in CMS

Soohwan Lee (Korea University (KR))

07/04/2022, 09:40

Heavy flavors, quarkonia, and strangeness production

Oral presentation

Because of the different binding energies, bottomonium mesons are particularly useful probes to understand the thermal properties of quark-gluon plasma. Previously, CMS observed the sequential suppression of $\Upsilon$(1S), $\Upsilon$(2S), and $\Upsilon$(3S) in heavy ion (AA) collisions, which was widely accepted as evidence for the QGP formation. However, the $\Upsilon$(3S) yield was...

733. Production of exotic hadrons in high multiplicity $pp$ and $p$Pb collisions at LHCb

Eliane Epple (Los Alamos National Laboratory (US))

07/04/2022, 10:00

Heavy flavors, quarkonia, and strangeness production

Oral presentation

The recently discovered abundance of hadrons with more than three valence quarks remains poorly understood. Measurements of these exotic hadrons and their interactions with the QCD medium provides a new avenue to investigate their properties. Additionally, the production of hadrons with more than three quarks presents new testing grounds for models of particle transport and recombination in...

252. Studies of heavy quark dynamics using $B^+$, $B^0_s$ and $B_{c}$ mesons with the CMS detector

Tzu-An Sheng (Massachusetts Inst. of Technology (US))

07/04/2022, 10:20

Heavy flavors, quarkonia, and strangeness production

Oral presentation

Heavy quarks are one of the most important probes to study the properties of quark-gluon plasma (QGP). Hadronization of beauty quarks is not as well understood as in the charm sector. Illuminating the hadronization mechanism is crucial for extracting the transport properties of the QGP. We present new results on nuclear modification factors of $B^0_s$ and $B^+$ mesons and their yield ratios in...

110. Constraining hadronization processes with charm baryons in pp and p-Pb collisions with ALICE

Mattia Faggin (Universita e INFN, Padova (IT))

07/04/2022, 11:10

Heavy flavors, quarkonia, and strangeness production

Oral presentation

In this contribution, we present the latest measurements of $\mathrm{D}^0$, $\mathrm{D}^+$ and $\mathrm{D_s}^+$ mesons together with the final measurements of $\Lambda_\mathrm{c}^+$, $\Xi_\mathrm{c}^{0,+}$, $\Sigma_\mathrm{c}^{0,++}$, and the first measurement of $\Omega_\mathrm{c}^0$ baryons performed with the ALICE detector at midrapidity in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s}=5.02$ and $\sqrt{s}=13$...

277. Measurements of $\Lambda_{c}^{+}$ and X(3872) production in PbPb for the studies of charm hadronization with CMS

Jing Wang (Massachusetts Inst. of Technology (US))

07/04/2022, 11:30

Heavy flavors, quarkonia, and strangeness production

Oral presentation

Being a powerful probe of the quark-gluon plasma (QGP), charm quarks have been widely studied in heavy-ion collisions. They have provided unique insights into the parton energy loss and the degree of thermalization in the hot medium, but an inadequate knowledge of the hadronization processes has hampered the interpretation of experimental results. In heavy-ion collisions, charm hadron...

954. $\Upsilon$(nS) meson production in Pb+Pb and $pp$ collisions

Alexandre Lebedev (Iowa State University (US))

07/04/2022, 11:50

Heavy flavors, quarkonia, and strangeness production

Oral presentation

Measurements of bottomonium states in heavy-ion collisions provide a powerful tool to study both initial-state effects on heavy-quark production and final-state interactions between heavy quarks and the quark-gluon plasma (QGP).

The ATLAS experiment at LHC has measured the production of bottomonium states $\Upsilon$(1S), $\Upsilon$(2S) and $\Upsilon$(3S), in Pb+Pb and $pp$ collisions at a...

571. An Investigation of Charm Quark Jet Spectrum and Shape Modifications in Au+Au Collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}} = 200$ GeV

Diptanil Roy (Rutgers University)

07/04/2022, 12:10

Heavy flavors, quarkonia, and strangeness production

Oral presentation

Partons (quarks/gluons) in heavy-ion collisions interact strongly with the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP), and hence have their energy and shower structure modified compared to those in vacuum, e.g., those produced in proton-proton collisions. Theoretical calculations predict that radiative energy loss, which is the dominant mode of energy loss for gluons and light quarks in the QGP, is suppressed...

973. Heavy quarkonium dynamics in the QGP with a quantum master equation approach

Stéphane DELORME

07/04/2022, 12:30

Heavy flavors, quarkonia, and strangeness production

Oral presentation

In recent years, a significant theoretical effort has been made towards a dynamical description of quarkonia inside the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP), using the open quantum systems formalism. In this framework, one can get a real-time description of a quantum system (here the quarkonium) in interaction with a thermal bath (the QGP) by integrating out the bath degrees of freedom and studying the...

279. Studies of heavy quark diffusion in QGP with nonprompt $D^0$ collectivity and jet-$D^0$ angular correlations in PbPb collisions

Milan Stojanovic (Purdue University (US))

07/04/2022, 12:50

Heavy flavors, quarkonia, and strangeness production

Oral presentation

Measurements of the correlations of the final-state heavy flavor hadrons are of great interest since they provide information about the initial collision geometry and its fluctuation. More importantly, those measurements could reveal the mass dependence of parton energy loss and quark diffusion in the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP). In this talk, we report the first measurement of the azimuthal...

94. Charmonium production in Pb–Pb collisions with ALICE

Jon-Are Saetre (University of Bergen (NO))

07/04/2022, 14:40

Heavy flavors, quarkonia, and strangeness production

Oral presentation

Charmonium production is a direct probe of deconfinement in heavy-ion collisions. For J/$\psi$, a bound state of ${c}\bar{c}$ quarks, its (re-)generation within the QGP or at the phase boundary, is found to be the dominant production mechanism at low transverse momentum ($p_{\rm T}$) and in central Pb–Pb collisions at the LHC energies. The relative production of the $\psi$(2S) excited state...

728. Heavy flavor production at LHCb

Benjamin Audurier (Centre national de la recherche scientifique)

07/04/2022, 15:00

Heavy flavors, quarkonia, and strangeness production

Oral presentation

Charm and bottom quark production is an important experimental observable that sheds light on the heavy quark interaction with the nuclear medium. With high statistics datasets, tracking and PID at very low transverse momentum, and
excellent vertexing capabilities, LHCb performs precision measurements of a rich set of heavy flavor hadrons, including B mesons, open charm hadrons and...

769. New measurements in fixed-target collisions at LHCb

Jiayin Sun (Universita e INFN, Cagliari)

07/04/2022, 15:20

Heavy flavors, quarkonia, and strangeness production

Oral presentation

The LHCb spectrometer has the unique capability to function as a fixed-target experiment by injecting gas into the LHC beampipe while proton or ion beams are circulating. The resulting beam+gas collisions cover an unexplored energy range that is above previous fixed-target experiments, but below the top RHIC energy for AA collisions. Here we present new results on antiproton and charm...

601. $J/\psi$ Forward rapidity azimuthal anisotropy in Au+Au collisions and multiplicity dependence in $p$+$p$ and $p$+Au at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$=200 GeV measured by the PHENIX Experiment

Luis Bichon (Vanderbilt University)

07/04/2022, 15:40

Heavy flavors, quarkonia, and strangeness production

Oral presentation

Nearly twenty $c\bar{c}$ pairs are produced in central Au+Au collisions at
the top RHIC energy of $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=$200 GeV, with the largest yields at
mid-rapidity. The enhanced production of charmonium states from combinations of independently produced charm quarks could contribute to the observation that, in Au+Au collisions at RHIC, J/$\psi$ yields are smaller at forward rapidity than at...

576. Recent heavy flavor results from the STAR experiment

Ziyue Zhang (University of Illinois at Chicago)

07/04/2022, 16:00

Heavy flavors, quarkonia, and strangeness production

Oral presentation

Quarkonia and open-charm hadrons are important probes to study the properties of the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP). Heavy quarks are produced predominantly in hard partonic scatterings at the very early stage of heavy-ion collisions, and subsequently experience the whole evolution of the hot and dense medium. Measurements of quarkonia and open charm hadron production yields and $J/\psi$ anisotropic...
