Strangeness and heavy flavours within the ALICE experiment
نویسنده
چکیده
The ALICE experiment at CERN is now ready to take data in protonproton and ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions at LHC. This review starts with a description of the ALICE experimental setup and its excellent tracking and particle identification capabilities. Then, we will discuss the ways to probe the hot and dense medium created at multi-TeV energies by measuring the yields and kinematic characteristics of strange and heavy-flavour particles produced in these collisions.

Heavy-flavour and quarkonium measurements in Pb–Pb collisions at √ sNN = 2.76 TeV with ALICE
We report on the latest results on heavy-flavour and J/ψ production at both midrapidity and forward rapidity, in Pb–Pb collisions at √ sNN = 2.76 TeV, measured with the ALICE experiment at the LHC. We present measurements of the nuclear modification factor for open heavy-flavours and J/ψ and compare these results to model predictions. Preliminary results on the elliptic flow of D mesons and J/ψ...

The yields of heavy flavored hadrons emitted from strangeness-rich QGP are evaluated within chemical non-equilibrium statistical hadronization model, conserving strangeness, charm, and entropy yields at hadronization.

The formation of hypernuclei in hadron-induced reactions and in heavy-ion collisions within a combination of a covariant transport model and a statistical fragmentation approach is investigated. We study the applicability and limitations of such a hybrid approach by comparing fragmentation data in heavy-ion collisions and proton induced reactions. It turns out that the combined approach describ...
متن کاملStrangeness as a Qgp Signal in an Isentropic Quark-hadron Phase Transition
Lattice QCD results reveal that the critical parameters and the order of the quark-hadron phase transition are quite sensitive to the number of dynamical flavours and their masses included in the theory. Motivated by this result we develop a phenomenological equation of state for the quark-gluon plasma consisting of nf flavours retaining the entropy per baryon ratio continuous across the quark-...
