In high-energy nuclear collisions, the new phase of the quark-gluon plasma is indicated by an anomalous increase in pressure, an excess of direct photon production, an excess of strangeness production, and an anomalous J/psi suppression. We…
Heavy-ion collisions at very high colliding energies are expected to produce a quark-gluon plasma (QGP) at the highest temperature obtainable in a laboratory setting. Experimental studies of these reactions can provide an unprecedented…
We have studied how lepton pairs from decays of heavy-flavoured mesons produced in p$A$ collisions can be used to determine the modifications of the gluon distribution in the nucleus. Since heavy quark production is dominated by the $gg$…
ALICE (A Large Ion Collider Experiment) is devoted to the study of heavy-ion collisions at LHC energies. In such collisions a deconfined state of nuclear matter, the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP), is formed. Due to their early production,…
The PHOBOS experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) has collected a large dataset of Au+Au, Cu+Cu, d+Au and p+p collisions in the center of mass energy range spanning from 19 GeV/nucleon to 200 GeV/nucleon. The almost full…
The study of a quasi back-to-back isolated pair made of a heavy quarkonium, such as a J/psi or a Upsilon, and a photon produced in proton-proton collisions at the LHC, is probably the optimal way to get right away a first experimental…
We examine the production of J/$\Psi$ mesons in high energy hadron-nucleus collisions using models that account for both the initial state modification of parton distributions in nuclei and the final state interaction of the produced $c\bar…
The ALICE detector provides excellent capabilities to study quarkonium production at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Heavy quarkonia, bound states of charm or beauty quark anti-quark pairs such as the $\mathrm{J/\psi}$, are expected to be…
The quarkonium hadroproduction in association with a photon at high energies provides a probe of the dynamics of the strong interactions as it is dependent on the nuclear gluon distribution. Therefore, it could be used to constrain the…
The space-time evolution of J/psi production in central Au+Au collisions at RHIC energy is investigated in a transport model. Both gluon dissociation and continuous regeneration of J/psis inside deconfined state are considered.
An overview is given on the experimental study of quark-gluon matter produced in relativistic nucleus-nucleus collisions, with emphasis on recent measurements at the Large Hadron Collider.
The NA50 Collaboration has recently observed a strong suppression of J/Psi production in Pb-Pb collisions at 158 Gev/n. We show that this recent observation finds a quantitative explanation in a model which relates the suppression mechanism…
We discuss recent experimental results in the field of ultra-relativistic nuclear collisions. The emerging ``picture'' is a collectively expanding, initially hot and dense fireball in which strangeness- and low-mass di-lepton pair…
We update our previous calculation of $J/\psi$ photo-production near threshold \cite{Hatta:2018ina} by incorporating the recent developments in theory and the new experimental data from the GlueX collaboration at Jefferson Lab…
The double spin asymmetry for exclusive $J/\psi$ pair production in the polarized $p-p$ collisions at RHIC is investigated. Our study shows that the asymmetry in this process is measurable at RHIC-SPIN experiments in the near future, and,…
Nuclear gluon densities are of great importance to the physics of relativistic heavy ion collisions, in particular, in assessing the origin of $J/\psi$-suppression. We describe our attempts to distinguish various models of the gluonic…
ALICE is designated to study the quark-gluon plasma (QGP), a state of matter where, due to high temperature and density, quarks and gluons are deconfined. One of the probes used to investigate this state of matter is quarkonium states,…
Using the expression of the dynamical gluon mass obtained through the operator product expansion we discuss the relevance of gluon mass effects in the decays V -> hadrons (V = J/Psi, Upsilon). Relativistic and radiative corrections are also…
The hot and dense strongly interacting Quark-Gluon Plasma (sQGP) created in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions can be probed by studying high-$p_{\rm T}$ particle production and parton energy loss. Similar measurements performed in…
We investigate the sensitivity of $J/\Psi$ production in proton-neutron and proton-deuteron collisions to charge symmetry violations in the parton distributions as well as to nuclear corrections. It is found that the effects of charge…
