Multiplicity and Rapidity Dependent Study of (Multi)-strange Hadrons in d+Au collisions using the STAR detector by Aggarwal Ishu

“…Strangeness enhancement has long been considered as a signature of the quark-gluon plasma formation in heavy-ion collisions. Strangeness enhancement has also been observed in small systems at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), but the underlying physics still needs to be fully understood. …”

Balance Function in High-Energy Collisions by A. Tawfik, Asmaa G. Shalaby

“…The chemical evolution of the new-state-of-matter, the quark-gluon plasma, and its temporal-spatial evolution, femtoscopy of two-particle correlations, are accessible. …”

Quarkonium Production and Proposal of the New Experiments on Fixed Target at the LHC by A. B. Kurepin, N. S. Topilskaya

“…The dissociation of quarkonium resonances produced in heavy ion collisions was suggested as a possible signal of the Quark-Gluon Plasma formation. At the CERN SPS, the anomalous suppression of the J/ψ production was observed in central Pb-Pb collisions by the NA50 collaboration. …”

Searching for Minimum in Dependence of Squared Speed-of-Sound on Collision Energy by Fu-Hu Liu, Li-Na Gao, Roy A. Lacey

“…This knee point should be related to the searching for the onset of quark deconfinement and the critical point of quark-gluon plasma (QGP) phase transition.…”

First D0 + D0 measurement in nucleus-nucleus collisions at SPS energies with NA61/SHINE by Merzlaya Anastasia

“…In particular, charm mesons are of vivid interest in the context of the study of the nature of the phasetransition between confined hadronic matter and the quark-gluon plasma. Recently, the NA61/SHINE experimental setup was upgraded with a high spatial resolution Vertex Detector which enables the reconstruction of secondary vertices from open charm meson decays. …”

PHENIX highlights: Recent results from PHENIX by Shimomura Maya

“…The Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) PHENIX experiment has provided new insights into the behavior of quark-gluon plasma (QGP) under extreme conditions. While PHENIX concluded data collection in 2016, the collaboration remains actively engaged in analyzing the rich dataset yielding the following three important results recently. (1) Heavy flavor (HF) with charm and bottom quark separation indicates a clear mass dependence observed in central collisions. …”

Particle Production in Strong Electromagnetic Fields in Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collisions by Kirill Tuchin

“…I demonstrate by explicit analytical calculation that after dropping by about one-two orders of magnitude during the first fm/c of plasma expansion, it freezes out and lasts for as long as quark-gluon plasma lives as a consequence of finite electrical conductivity of the plasma. …”

Deconfinement and Freezeout Boundaries in Equilibrium Thermal Models by Abdel Nasser Tawfik, Muhammad Maher, A. H. El-Kateb, Sara Abdelaziz

“…At low baryonic density or high energies, both deconfinement and chemical freezeout boundaries are likely coincident, and therefore, the agreement with the lattice simulations becomes excellent as well, while at large baryonic density, the two boundaries become distinguishable forming a phase where hadrons and quark-gluon plasma likely coexist.…”

Study of baryon-strangeness and charge-strangeness correlations in Pb–Pb collisions at √sNN = 5.02 TeV with ALICE by Saha Swati

“…In the quest to unravel the mysteries of the strong force and the underlying properties of the quark-gluon plasma, the ALICE collaboration at CERN has carried out a comprehensive study focusing on the correlations between net-conserved quantities such as net-baryon, net-charge and net- strangeness. …”

Electromagnetic Radiations from Heavy Ion Collision by Payal Mohanty, Sabyasachi Ghosh, Sukanya Mitra

“…In the calculations of interferometry involving dilepton pairs, it is argued that the nonmonotonic variation of HBT radii with invariant mass of the lepton pairs signals the formation of quark gluon plasma in HIC. Elliptic flow (v2) of dilepton is also studied at sNN=2.76 TeV for 30–40% centrality using the (2+1)d hydrodynamical model.…”

Quarkonium production in pp and heavy-ion collisions by Song Taesoo, Aichelin Joerg, Zhao Jiaxing, Gossiaux Pol B., Bratkovskaya Elena

“…The density operator is updated whenever heavy quark or heavy antiquark scatters in quark-gluon plasma (QGP). Our results are consistent with the experimental data on bottomonia from ALICE and CMS Collaborations assuming that the interaction rate of bottom (anti)quark in bottomonium is suppressed to 10 % that of unbound bottom (anti)quark. …”

Two-colour QCD phases and the topology at low temperature and high density by Kei Iida, Etsuko Itou, Tong-Gyu Lee

“…This is a contrast to the case of 0.89Tc in which the topological susceptibility becomes small as the hadronic phase changes into the quark-gluon plasma phase.…”

Lévy walk of pions in heavy-ion collisions by Dániel Kincses, Márton Nagy, Máté Csanád

“…In high-energy collisions of heavy nuclei, the strongly interacting Quark Gluon Plasma is created, which, similarly to the early Universe, undergoes a rapid expansion and transition back to hadronic matter. …”

J/ψ photoproduction and polarization in peripheral Pb−Pb collisions with ALICE by Mallick Dukhishyam

“…In addition, they can constrain the theory describing photon-induced reactions in A–A collisions with nuclear overlap, including possible interactions of the measured probes with the formed and fast expanding Quark-Gluon Plasma. In order to confirm the photoproduction origin of the very low pT J/ψ yield excess, polarization measurements represent a suitable observable. …”

Polarization of thermal dilepton radiation by Florian Seck, Bengt Friman, Tetyana Galatyuk, Hendrik van Hees, Ralf Rapp, Enrico Speranza, Jochen Wambach

“…While the low- and high-mass regions exhibit the expected limits of transverse and unpolarized photons, respectively, baryon-driven medium effects in the ρ-meson mass region create a marked longitudinal polarization that transits into a largely unpolarized emission from the quark-gluon plasma, thus providing a sensitive test of microscopic emission processes in QCD matter. …”
