High-energy collisions of heavy ions provide a means to study QCD in a regime of high parton density, and may provide insight into its phase structure. Results from the four experiments at RHIC (BRAHMS, PHENIX, PHOBOS and STAR) are…
High $p_{\rm T}$ hadrons in the small systems of $d/^3$He+Au and $p$+Al/Au collisions have been measured at the midrapidity ($|\eta|<0.35$) as well as at the forward and backward rapidities ($1.2<|\eta|<2.4$) at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$=200GeV. A…

In heavy-ion collisions at high energies, the quantum chromodynamics (QCD) predicts the production of the deconfined quark-gluon plasma (QGP) state. Quarkonia ($c\bar{c}$ or $b\bar{b}$ bound states) are a useful means to probe QGP and to…
High momentum hadron suppression is considered to be an excellent probe of jet-medium interactions in QCD matter created in ultra-relativistic heavy ion collisions. We previously showed that our dynamical energy loss formalism can…
Measurements of heavy quark production and suppression in ultra-relativistic nuclear collisions probe the interactions of heavy quarks with the hot, dense medium created in the collisions. ATLAS has measured heavy quark production in…
