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 …

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

At sufficiently high temperature and energy density, nuclear matter undergoes a transition to
a phase in which quarks and gluons are not confined: the quark–gluon plasma (QGP). Such …

A bstract We report the measured transverse momentum (p T) spectra of primary charged
particles from pp, p-Pb and Pb-Pb collisions at a center-of-mass energy\(\sqrt {s_ {\mathrm …

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) …

The diffusion of heavy quarks through the quark–gluon plasma (QGP) as produced in high-
energy heavy-ion collisions has long been recognized as an excellent probe of its transport …

Direct photon production at mid-rapidity in Pb–Pb collisions at s NN= 2.76 TeV was studied
in the transverse momentum range 0.9< p T< 14 GeV/c. Photons were detected with the …

The production of prompt D 0, D s+, and Λ c+ hadrons, and their ratios, D s+/D 0 and Λ c+/D
0, are measured in proton–proton collisions at s= 13 TeV at midrapidity (| y|< 0.5) with the …
