The ALICE experiment was proposed in 1993, to study strongly-interacting matter at extreme
energy densities and temperatures. This proposal entailed a comprehensive investigation of …

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 …

Comprehensive results on the production of unidentified charged particles, π±, K±, KS 0,
K*(892) 0, p, p¯, ϕ (1020), Λ, Λ¯, Ξ−, Ξ¯+, Ω−, and Ω¯+ hadrons in proton-proton (pp) …

We provide a concise overview on transverse momentum dependent (TMD) parton
distribution functions, their application to topical issues in high-energy physics …

After an introduction motivating the study of quarkonium production, we review the recent
developments in the phenomenology of quarkonium production in inclusive scatterings of …

Quantum chromodynamics (QCD) is the theory of strong interactions of quarks and gluons
collectively called partons, the basic constituents of all nuclear matter. Its non-abelian …

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 …

We review the experimental and theoretical status of open heavy-flavor (HF) production in
high-energy nuclear collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) and the Large …

The average transverse momentum< p T> versus the charged-particle multiplicity N ch was
measured in p–Pb collisions at a collision energy per nucleon–nucleon pair s NN= 5.02 TeV …

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 …
