ALICE measures the J/psi production at mid-rapidity (|y| < 0.9) in the di-electron decay channel as well as at forward rapidity (2.5 < y < 4.0) in the di-muon decay channel. In both channels the acceptance goes down to zero transverse…

Transverse polarization (TP) can be used to study interference of (S,P) or T type couplings from new physics with the SM contribution. In e+e- -> t tbar, a CP-odd azimuthal asymmetry can constrain the scale Lambda of new (S,P) or T contact…

A thorough study reveals that the only key parameter for $\psi$ ($J/\psi$, $\psi'$) polarization is the ratio $\langle O^\psi(^3S_1^{[8]})\rangle/\langle O^\psi(^3P_0^{[8]})\rangle$, if the velocity scaling rule holds. The fit of the yield…

Charmonium production is highly sensitive to the hot and dense medium created in (ultra)-relativistic heavy-ion collisions, known as the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP). Measurements of the J/$\psi$ production serve as important tools for studying…
