Heavy quarks are produced in the early stages of ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions, and their number is preserved throughout the subsequent evolution of the system. Therefore, they constitute ideal probes for characterising the…
Dielectrons are an excellent probe for the QCD matter created in created in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions, since they are emitted during the whole evolution of the collision and do not interact strongly with the medium. To isolate…
