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 …

In this review, we present an up-to-date phenomenological summary of research
developments in the physics of the Quark–Gluon Plasma (QGP). A short historical …

Prospects for quarkonium-production studies accessible during the upcoming high-
luminosity phases of the CERN Large Hadron Collider operation after 2021 are reviewed …

Abstract Quark–Gluon Plasma (QGP), a QCD state of matter created in ultra-relativistic
heavy-ion collisions, has remarkable properties including, for example, a low shear viscosity …

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 hot, dense medium called a quark gluon plasma (QGP) is created in ultrarelativistic heavy
ion collisions. Early in the collision, hard parton scatterings generate high momentum …

Production and observation of a quark-gluon plasma (QGP) is one of the most ambitious
goals of the ultrarelativistic heavy ion experiments being carried out at CERN's super proton …

The ultrarelativistic heavy-ion programs at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider and the Large
Hadron Collider have entered an era of quantitative analysis of quantum chromodynamics …

Heavy ion collisions quickly form a droplet of quark–gluon plasma (QGP) with a remarkably
small viscosity. We give an accessible introduction to how to study this smallest and hottest …

This report presents the capabilities of the CMS experiment to explore the rich heavy-ion
physics programme offered by the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The collisions of …
