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 …

A bstract The production of prompt D 0, D+, and D*+ mesons was measured at midrapidity (|
y|< 0.5) in Pb–Pb collisions at the centre-of-mass energy per nucleon–nucleon pair\(\sqrt {s …

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 …

We present the first calculations of the heavy flavor diffusion coefficient using lattice QCD
with light dynamical quarks corresponding to a pion mass of around 320 MeV. For …

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 …

We report on broadly based systematic investigations of the modeling components for open
heavy-flavor diffusion and energy loss in strongly interacting matter in their application to …

We review results from lattice QCD calculations on the thermodynamics of strong-interaction
matter with emphasis on input these calculations can provide to the exploration of the phase …

We explore the impact of strong classical color fields, which occur in the earliest stages of
heavy-ion collisions and are known as the glasma, on the classical transport of hard probes …
