ALICE: Physics Performance Report, Volume II

Pietro Cortese, +978 more
- 13 Sep 2006 - 
TL;DR: The ALICE Collaboration as mentioned in this paper is a general-purpose heavy-ion experiment designed to study the physics of strongly interacting matter and the quark-gluon plasma in nucleus-nucleus collisions at the LHC.

Transverse momentum and centrality dependence of high-pT nonphotonic electron suppression in Au+Au collisions at sNN=200GeV

B. I. Abelev, +368 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the Star collaboration at the BNL Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider (RHIC) reports measurements of the inclusive yield of nonphotonic electrons, which arise dominantly from semileptonic decays of heavy flavor mesons, over a broad range of transverse momenta (1.2

QCD Predictions for Charm and Bottom Quark Production at RHIC

TL;DR: A rigorous benchmark is established against which nuclear collision data can be compared to obtain evidence for nuclear effects, and the electron spectrum resulting from heavy flavor decays is calculated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Elastic, inelastic, and path length fluctuations in jet tomography

TL;DR: In this article, the perturbative QCD was extended to include elastic as well as inelastic parton energy losses and jet path length fluctuations, which significantly reduced the discrepancy between theory and current data without violating the global entropy bounds.

Momentum fluctuations of heavy quarks in the gauge-string duality

TL;DR: Using the gauge-string duality, the authors compute two-point functions of the force acting on an external quark moving through a finite temperature bath of N = 4 super-Yang-Mills theory.

The PHOBOS Perspective on Discoveries at RHIC

TL;DR: In the most central Au+Au collisions at the highest beam energy, evidence is found for the formation of a very high energy density system whose description in terms of simple hadronic degrees of freedom is inappropriate as discussed by the authors.
