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 …

We report measurements of the primary charged-particle pseudorapidity density and
transverse momentum distributions in p-Pb collisions at s NN= 5.02 TeV and investigate …

We review the theoretical and experimental progress in the Glauber model of multiple
nucleon and/or parton scatterings after the last 10–15 years of operation with proton and …

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 …

A bstract Charged-particle spectra obtained in Pb+ Pb interactions at\(\sqrt {s_ {\mathrm
{NN}}}= 2.76\) TeV and pp interactions at\(\sqrt {s_ {\mathrm {NN}}}= 2.76\) TeV with the …

We highlight the progress, current status, and open challenges of QCD-driven physics, in
theory and in experiment. We discuss how the strong interaction is intimately connected to a …

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 …

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 …

We present new sets of nuclear parton distribution functions (nPDFs) at next-to-leading
order and next-to-next-to-leading order in perturbative QCD. Our analyses are based on …
