Heavy-flavour in relativistic nuclear collisions: recent developments
Abstract
Transport calculations represent the major tool to simulate the modifications induced by the presence of a hot-deconfined medium on the production of heavy-flavour particles in high-energy nuclear collisions. After a brief description of the approach and of the major achievements in its phenomenological applications we discuss some recent developments. In particular we focus on observables arising from event-by-event fluctuations in the distribution of deposited energy (odd flow harmonics, event-shape-engineering) and from the tilting of the initial geometry with respect to the beam axis (directed flow), with a possible role played by the strong magnetic field generated by the spectator nucleons.
