Quarkonium has been regarded as one of the golden probes to identify the phase transition from confined hadronic matter to
the deconfined quark-gluon plasma (QGP) in heavy-ion collisions. Recent theoretical developments in the study of the J/ψ
and ϒ families at the energies of Large Hadron Collider (LHC) are reviewed. In particular, the possible implications related to
the production and...

In high-energy collisions of heavy nuclei, the resulting state of matter attains such high temperatures and energy densities that quarks and gluons are no longer confined into hadrons. Known as the quark-gluon plasma (QGP), this matter occupies the high-temperature and high-density regime of the phase diagram of quantum chromodynamics (QCD). By probing the properties of the QGP, we are able...

This presentation outlines ongoing activities on development of heavy ion accelerator facilities, providing high-brightness beams capable of generating intense beams of RI as well as extreme state of nuclear matter. Manifested facilities goals is pushing the “intensity” and the “precision frontiers” to the extremes when accelerating full range of ion beam species from p+ to U to highest beam...

The future heavy ion experiment CBM at the FAIR facility will study the QCD phase diagram in the region of high baryon chemical potential at relatively moderate temperatures, where a complex structure is predicted by modern theories. In order to detect possible signatures of this structures, the physics program of the experiment includes a comprehensive study of the extremely rare probes like...

ALICE (A Large Ion Collider Experiment) is devoted to the study of heavy-ion collisions at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC). It is predicted that a deconfined state of hadronic matter, the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP), is created at the large energy densities reached in such collisions. The production of heavy quarkonium (ccbar and bbar bound states) appears modified in the presence of a QGP,...

Heavy quarks are effective probes of the properties of the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP) created in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions. Charm and beauty quarks are produced in hard scattering processes on timescales shorter than the QGP formation time due to their large masses and, thus, they experience the entire evolution of the medium interacting with its constituents via in-medium gluon...

The associated production of vector boson with quarkonia is a key observable for understanding the quarkonium production mechanisms, including the separation of single and double parton scattering components.
This talk will present the latest differential measurements from ATLAS of (associated) quarkonium production.

In heavy-ion collisions, the differences in shape between the positive and negative pion transverse momentum spectra at low pT can be used to study the Coulomb final-state interaction. The produced charged particles are moving in a Coulomb field generated by the positive net-charge of the stopped participant protons. The charged pions, as the most abundantly produced and lightest species, are...

Light-flavor hadrons, which consist of up, down, and strange valence quarks, can be used to study many different properties of ion-ion collisions. An overview of light-flavor hadron measurements performed with the ALICE detector will be presented, including measurements in pp collisions from 0.9 to 13 TeV, p-Pb collisions at 5.02 and 8.16 TeV, Pb-Pb collisions at 2.76 and 5.02 TeV, and new...
