Jet quenching in heavy-ion collisions: The transition era from RHIC to LHC

Jet correlation measurement in heavy-ion collisions: from RHIC to LHC

We attempt to deduce simple options of ‘jet quenching’ phenomena in heavy-ion collisions at

Jet Quenching in Heavy Ion Collisions

Jet Quenching in Heavy Ion Collisions from AdS/CFT

The phenomenon of jet supression observed in highly energetic heavy ion collisions is discussed. The focus is devoted to the stunning applications of the AdS/CFT correspondence [1] to describe these real time processes, hard to be illuminated by other means. In particular, the introduction of as many flavors as colors into the quark-gluon plasma is scrutinized.

Charm quenching in heavy-ion collisions at the LHC

D-meson suppression in Pb–Pb collisions at the LHC due to charm quark in-medium energy loss is estimated within a model that describes the available quenching measurements at RHIC. The result is compared to that previously published by the author. The expected sensitivity of the ALICE experiment for studying charm energy loss via fully-reconstructed D-meson decays is also presented. PACS number...

Heavy-flavour and quarkonium production in the LHC era: from proton–proton to heavy-ion collisions

This report reviews the study of open heavy-flavour and quarkonium production in high-energy hadronic collisions, as tools to investigate fundamental aspects of Quantum Chromodynamics, from the proton and nucleus structure at high energy to deconfinement and the properties of the Quark-Gluon Plasma. Emphasis is given to the lessons learnt from LHC Run 1 results, which are reviewed in a global p...
