We present Azimuthal Anisotropy Scaling Functions for identified particle species spanning beam energies from RHIC to the LHC. The scaling functions, which clarify the respective influence of initial-state eccentricity, expansion dynamics, and the transport coefficients, indicate characteristic signatures for the transport coefficient's dependencies on the temperature ($T$) and the baryon...
Quarkonium production in small systems has been the subject of many theoretical and experimental studies. In proton-nucleus (p-A) collisions, their production is sensitive to cold nuclear matter effects such as nuclear modification of parton densities, parton energy loss via initial-state radiation and transverse momentum broadening due to multiple soft collisions. Furthermore,...
Current experiments at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) are probing
finite baryon densities where the shear viscosity to enthalpy ratio $\eta T/w$
of the Quark Gluon Plasma remains unknown. We use the Hadron Resonance Gas
(HRG) model with the most up-to-date hadron list to calculate $\eta T/w$ at low
temperatures and at finite baryon densities $\rho_B$. We then match $\eta...
The large values and the constituent-quark-number (NCQ) scaling of the elliptic flow of low-$p_T$ $D$ mesons imply that charm quarks, initially produced through hard processes, might be partially thermalized through the strong interactions with the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) in high-energy heavy-ion collisions.
To quantify the degree of thermalization of low-$p_T$ charm quarks, we compare...
The precise knowledge of the strong interaction between kaons and nucleons is a key element needed for the chiral effective theories that describe the interaction between hadrons in the non–pertubative regime of QCD. Additionally, the knowledge of the interaction plays an important role in the study of the equation of state of dense baryonic matter, and hence has important implications for the...
