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 …

We present a review of the conceptual basis, current knowledge, and recent progress
regarding global analysis of nuclear parton distribution functions (PDFs). After introducing …

A bstract A study of the decays B 0 s→ μ+ μ− and B 0→ μ+ μ− has been performed using
26.3 fb− 1 of 13 TeV LHC proton-proton collision data collected with the ATLAS detector in …

We study the relevance of experimental data on heavy-flavor [D 0, J/ψ, B→ J/ψ and ϒ (1 S)
mesons] production in proton-lead collisions at the LHC to improve our knowledge of the …

A measurement of J/ψ J/ψ and ψ (2 S) ψ (2 S) production is presented. It is based on a data
sample from Pb+ Pb collisions at s_ NN= 5.02~ TeV s NN= 5.02 TeV and pp collisions at s …

The inclusive J/ψ production has been studied in Pb–Pb and pp collisions at the centre-of-
mass energy per nucleon pair√ sNN= 5.02 TeV, using the ALICE detector at the CERN …

A clear understanding of nuclear parton distribution functions (nPDFs) plays a crucial role in
the interpretation of collider data taken at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider, the Large …

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 …

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