Radiative transition of an excited baryon to a nucleon with emission of a virtual massive photon converting to dielectron pair (Dalitz decays) provides important information about baryon-photon coupling at low q2 in timelike region. A prominent enhancement in the respective electromagnetic transition Form Factors (etFF) at q2 near vector mesons ρ/ω poles has been predicted by various calculations reflecting strong baryon-vector meson couplings. The understanding of these couplings is also of primary importance for the interpretation of the emissivity of QCD matter studied in heavy ion collisions via dilepton emission. Dedicated measurements of baryon Dalitz decays in proton-proton and pion-proton scattering with HADES detector at GSI/FAIR are presented and discussed. The relevance of these studies for the interpretation of results obtained from heavy ion reactions is elucidated on the example of the HADES results.

The ALICE Collaboration measured dielectron production as a function of the invariant mass ( m ee ), the pair transverse momentum ( p T , ee ) and the pair distance of closest approach ( DCA ee ) in pp collisions at s = 7 TeV. Prompt and non-prompt dielectron sources can be separated with the DCA ee , which will give the opportunity in heavy-ion collisions to identify thermal radiation from the medium in the intermediate-mass range dominated by contributions from open-charm and beauty hadron decays. The charm and beauty total cross sections are extracted from the data by fitting the spectra with two different MC generators, i.e., PYTHIA a leading order event generator and POWHEG a next-to-leading order event generator. Significant model dependences are observed, reflecting the sensitivity of this measurement to the heavy-flavour production mechanisms.

We investigate how the non-extensive approach works in high-energy physics. Transverse momentum ( p T ) spectra of several hadrons are fitted by various non-extensive momentum distributions and by the Boltzmann–Gibbs statistics. It is shown that some non-extensive distributions can be transferred one into another. We find explicit hadron mass and center-of-mass energy scaling both in the temperature and in the non-extensive parameter, q, in proton–proton and heavy-ion collisions. We find that the temperature depends linearly, but the Tsallis q follows a logarithmic dependence on the collision energy in proton–proton collisions. In the nucleus–nucleus collisions, on the other hand, T and q correlate linearly, as was predicted in our previous work.

We present the measurement of jet production performed with the ATLAS detector in proton-proton collisions at center-of-mass energy of 7 TeV, using an integrated luminosity of 17 nb−1. We show the inclusive jet cross sections and jet shapes. The expected performance and strategy for the jet reconstruction in heavy ion collisions is also discussed.

ALICE (A Large Ion Collider Experiment) at the LHC performed high statistics measurements in Pb-Pb collisions at the top LHC energy, complemented with large recent reference datasets in elementary proton-proton collisions at the same energy. Elementary pp collisions are serving as baseline for testing QCD properties and allow the study of the changes induced by the hot and dense medium produced in heavy ion collisions. Key observables like nuclear modification factors, jet production, flow phenomena and spectra for identified particles, related to the different stages of collision evolution, are presented and compared with the most recent results from p-Pb and Xe-Xe collisions, thus allowing to probe both initial cold nuclear matter and final state effects, combined with the system size dependence of the measurements.

In this paper, the effects of different nucleus form factors to the cross-sections of electromagnetically produced heavy lepton pairs such as muons and tauons from the ultra-relativistic heavy ion collisions have been calculated. Nucleus form factors play important roles in the calculation of the cross-sections, because the Compton wavelengths of muon and tauon are comparable to the radius of the colliding ions. Some realistic form factors in these calculations have been used and compared the results among them. It has been shown that nucleus form factors reduce the cross-section calculations for muon and tauon pair production very strongly especially at RHIC energies.

A Large Ion Collider Experiment (ALICE) is one of the four large experiments at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), and the one dedicated to ultra relativistic heavy ion collisions, aiming at investigating the properties of the high-density state of QCD matter produced in such events. ALICE started to collect data in proton-proton collisions at the LHC at CERN in November 2009 (with a centre of mass energy [Formula: see text]). Since March 2010 data are being recorded at an energy of [Formula: see text] while from November 7 to December 6 LHC provided Pb-Pb collisions at an energy of [Formula: see text] per nucleon-nucleon pair. In Pb-Pb collisions heavy quarks are regarded as sensitive probes of the interaction dynamics between the parton and medium produced in the collisions, and the energies available at LHC will allow to study the production of heavy flavours with high statistics. Proton-proton data will be used to measure the heavy flavours production cross section to compare with perturbative QCD calculations in an unexplored energy domain and they will provide the reference for the study of Pb-Pb collisions. After a description of the ALICE experiment focused on its heavy flavour related performance, the status of the first analysis on charm production, measured by reconstructing the decays of D0, D+, D*+, and Ds into hadronic and semi-leptonic channels will be presented. An outlook of the same measurements for the upcoming Pb-Pb run will also be discussed.
