Recent studies based on lattice Monte Carlo simulations of quantum chromodynamics
(QCD)—the theory of strong interactions—have demonstrated that at high temperature there …

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 …

Abstract The Spin Physics Detector (SPD) is a future multipurpose experiment foreseen to
run at the NICA collider, which is currently under construction at the Joint Institute for Nuclear …

A bstract The ALICE Collaboration has studied the inclusive production of the charmonium
state ψ (2S) in proton-lead (p-Pb) collisions at the nucleon-nucleon centre of mass …

We outline the many physics opportunities offered by a multi-purpose fixed-target
experiment using the proton and lead–ion beams of the LHC extracted by a bent crystal. In a …

We review the present status in the theoretical and phenomenological understanding of
charmonium and bottomonium production in heavy-ion collisions. We start by recapitulating …

The double-differential cross sections of promptly produced J/ψ and ψ (2 S) mesons are
measured in pp collisions at s= 7 TeV, as a function of transverse momentum p T and …

The prompt production of charmonium χc and J/ψ states is studied in proton–proton
collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of s= 7 TeV at the Large Hadron Collider. The χc and …

A bstract The production of ψ (2S) mesons is studied in dimuon final states using proton-
lead (pPb) collision data collected by the LHCb detector. The data sample corresponds to an …

Heavy-flavor particles are believed to provide valuable probes of the medium produced in
ultrarelativistic collisions of heavy nuclei. In this article we review recent progress in our …
