102. Quarkonia production in ALICE

Christophe Suire (CNRS-IN2p3)

Oral presentation

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...

161. Quarkonia and open heavy-flavor production at STAR

Manuel Calderon De La Barca Sanchez (UC Davis)

30/05/2012, 12:00

Oral presentation

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...

162. Cold nuclear matter effects and heavy-quark production in PHENIX

Anthony Frawley (Florida State University)

Oral presentation

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...
