Modification Factor

The Large Hadron Collider at CERN allows us to study heavy-ion collisions at an un- precedented energy. ALICE, A Large Ion Collider Experiment, is the experiment ded- icated to the investigation of heavy-ion collisions. In this contribution, recent open heavy-flavour results from pp collisions at [Formula: see text]= 5.02, 7, 8 and 13 TeV and p–Pb collisions at [Formula: see text] = 5.02 TeV, collected with the ALICE detector during the LHC Run-1 and Run-2 are presented. The results include the production cross section, nuclear modification factor and multiplicity dependence studies of production of D mesons and electrons from heavy-flavour hadron decays at mid-rapidity and of muons from heavy-flavour hadron decays at forward rapidity. Charm production was measured down to [Formula: see text] = 0 GeV/[Formula: see text] in pp and p–Pb collisions. Recent measurements of the production cross section of heavy charmed baryons such as [Formula: see text] (in pp and p–Pb) and [Formula: see text] (in pp) are discussed. The results are compared with theoretical model predictions.

Multiquark States

We present a short review of exotic charmonium production in heavy ion collisions. We discuss predictions for the production cross section of several of these states in ultra-peripheral Pb-Pb collisions at the LHC. The experimental study of these processes is feasible and can be used to yield valuable information about the structure of multiquark states. We also address X(3872) production in central Pb-Pb collisions. In particular, we discuss the suppression of X(3872) during the hadron gas phase. Finally, we comment on the very recent CMS data on the X(3872) yield in Pb-Pb collisions. the very recent CMS data on the X(3872) yield in Pb-Pb collisions.

Gluon Production

We study two-particle long-range rapidity correlations arising in the early stages of heavy ion collisions in the saturation/Color Glass Condensate framework, assuming for simplicity that one colliding nucleus is much larger than the other. We calculate the two-gluon production cross section while including all-order saturation effects in the heavy nucleus with the lowest-order rescattering in the lighter nucleus. We find four types of correlations in the two-gluon production cross section: (i) geometric correlations, (ii) HBT correlations accompanied by a back-to-back maximum, (iii) away-side correlations, and (iv) near-side azimuthal correlations which are long-range in rapidity. The geometric correlations (i) are due to the fact that nucleons are correlated by simply being confined within the same nucleus and may lead to long-range rapidity correlations for the produced particles without strong azimuthal angle dependence. Somewhat surprisingly, long-range rapidity correlations (iii) and (iv) have exactly the same amplitudes along with azimuthal and rapidity shapes: one centered around Δϕ = π with the other one centered around Δϕ = 0 (here Δϕ is the azimuthal angle between the two produced gluons). We thus observe that the early-time CGC dynamics in nucleus-nucleus collisions generates azimuthal non-flow correlations which are qualitatively different from jet correlations by being long-range in rapidity. If strong enough, they have the potential of mimicking the elliptic (and higher-order even-harmonic) flow in the di-hadron correlators: one may need to take them into account in the experimental determination of the flow observables.

We are studying the potential energy describing the entrance channel of a heavy-ion collisions for the axially symmetric deformed and arbitrarily oriented nuclear shapes. The paper presents an analysis of the influence of different orientations of the deformed ions on the height and shape of the fusion barrier. The net effect of the deformation degree of freedom on the transmission at sub-barrier energies is to enhance the fusion cross section. This problem is very important especially in the perspective of the synthesis of super-heavy elements.

K Mesons

We review in this contribution the information we can obtain from heavy-ion experiments about the interaction of mesons with matter. We demonstrate that the vector mesons seen in experiments come predominantly from low densities. Kaons offer a better opportunity but most of the presently available experimental observables do not allow to analyze separately the three essential unknown quantities: the kaon production cross-section in the medium, the K+N potential interaction at finite densities and temperatures and the kaon (elastic or charge exchange) rescattering cross-section in the medium. We propose a measurement which almost exclusively tests the K+N potential.

Target Mass

The fragment cross sections are calculated for reactions of Ne collisions with C , Al , Cu , Sn , Ta , and Pb targets at 600 Mev/nucleon using the the isospin-dependent Boltzmann-Langevin equation. We found that the production cross sections for fragments Z = 2 to 9 are qualitatively reproduced by the present calculations except for C target. In order to understand the effects of heavy ion interaction with biomolecules well, we calculate the fragmentation cross sections for reactions of 12 C + 2 H , 12 C , 14 N , 16 O at beam energies from 50 to 100 MeV/nucleon. It is found that fragment species increase approximately with increasing target mass. The obvious increment of the fragment cross sections for heavier targets at the beam energies from 50 to 80 MeV/nucleon are shown.

Theoretical Results

The Lorentz-invariant differential cross section (LIDCS) for π production in heavy ion collisions was studied through the two-step process, NN→NΔ→NNπ. A phenomenological interaction potential containing central and tensor terms was used. The effect of inclusion of the tensor term on the LIDCS was little. The target nucleus 12C was excited to one of its giant resonance states, Jπ=1+, T=1, while the projectile nucleus 16O was excited to an isobar Δ (M=1232 MeV , ΓΔ=115.11 MeV ) which decayed (NΔ→NNπ), giving a nucleon and a pion mπ=138 MeV . In comparison with available experimental data, the shape was reproduced, but the theoretical results were higher.
