This report reviews the study of open heavy-flavour and quarkonium production in high-
energy hadronic collisions, as tools to investigate fundamental aspects of Quantum …

A golden age for heavy-quarkonium physics dawned a decade ago, initiated by the
confluence of exciting advances in quantum chromodynamics (QCD) and an explosion of …

We provide an overview of the status of Monte-Carlo event generators for high-energy
particle physics. Guided by the experimental needs and requirements, we highlight areas of …

The ALICE Collaboration at the LHC has measured the J/ψ and ψ′ photoproduction at mid-
rapidity in ultra-peripheral Pb–Pb collisions at\(\sqrt {s_ {\mathrm {NN}}}= 2.76~\mathrm …

Ultraperipheral collisions (UPCs) of heavy ions and protons are the energy frontier for
electromagnetic interactions. Both photonuclear and two-photon collisions are studied at …

We discuss the physics of large impact parameter interactions at the LHC: ultraperipheral
collisions (UPCs). The dominant processes in UPCs are photon–nucleon (nucleus) …

▪ Abstract Moving highly-charged ions carry strong electromagnetic fields that act as a beam
of photons. In collisions at large impact parameters, hadronic interactions are not possible …

We present results of the updated SuperChic 3 Monte Carlo event generator for central
exclusive production. This extends the previous treatment of proton–proton collisions to …

The LHC is not only the most powerful collider for proton–proton and heavy-ion collisions,
but also for photon–photon and photon–hadron (γp and γPb) interactions, offering a unique …

The future opportunities for high-density QCD studies with ion and proton beams at the LHC
are presented. Four major scientific goals are identified: the characterisation of the …
