159. Heavy flavour production in ALICE at the LHC

Silvia Masciocchi (GSI Darmstadt)

30/05/2012, 09:00

Oral presentation

Heavy quarks, charm and beauty, are excellent probes to investigate QCD processes in hadronic interactions, and to characterize the deconfined medium produced in high-energy heavy-ion collisions, the Quark-Gluon Plasma. They are produced dominantly through hard partonic scattering processes in the earliest stage of the hadronic collisions and thus they experience the whole history of the...

143. Quarkonia and heavy flavor production in CMS

Torsten Dahms (LLR, Ecole Polytech., IN2P3-CNRS, France)

30/05/2012, 09:30

Oral presentation

The Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) is fully equipped to measure quarkonia in the di-muon decay channel in the high multiplicity environment of nucleus-nucleus collisions. Quarkonia are especially relevant for studying the quark-gluon plasma since they are produced at early times and propagate through the medium, mapping its evolution. CMS has measured the nuclear modification factors of...

155. Recent developments in lattice studies for quarkonia

Olaf Kaczmarek (Bielefeld University)

30/05/2012, 10:00

Oral presentation

I will give a review on recent developments in lattice QCD studies for quarkonia in the quark gluon plasma medium. I will discuss recent progress in the extraction of spectral properties from lattice QCD calculations of hadronic correlation functions. Besides medium modifications of bound states and their dissociation in the plasma I will focus on transport coefficients, like heavy quark...
