Heavy quarkonium states are expected to provide essential information on the properties of the high-density strongly-interacting system formed in the early stages of heavy-ion collisions. In particular the J/psi suppression, in heavy-ion collisions, via color screening mechanism, can be seen as a direct effect of deconfinement.
During 25 years, the J/psi suppression has been extensively...

Heavy flavor production is a useful tool to study the medium produced in heavy ion collisions. We will present results on production of charm hadrons via the reconstruction of D0 and D* mesons, and compare them to FONLL calculations. The nuclear modification factor of D mesons can then be used to study medium effects. We will also present results on charmonium and bottomonium production. By...

Measurements of cross section modifications for hard processes that take place in a nuclear target provide information about the modification of parton densities in nuclei at low Bjorken $x$. This is interesting because it illuminates the physics of QCD at high parton density, and also because it provides a baseline against which the modification of cross ssections for hard processes in...
