چکیده
In these proceedings we present a brief overview of recent open heavy flavor and quarkonium production theory in proton-proton (pp), proton/deuteron-nucleus (pA, dA) and nucleus-nucleus collisions.

Statistical hadronization of heavy flavor quarks in elementary collisions: successes and failures
We analyze recently compiled data on the production of open heavy flavor hadrons and quarkonia in ee as well as pp and p-nucleus collisions in terms of the statistical hadronization model. Within this approach the production of open heavy flavor hadrons is well described with parameters deduced from a thermal analysis of light flavor hadron production. In contrast, quarkonium production in such...
متن کاملNuclear Medium Effects in J/ψ Production at Hera-b
In this paper we estimate the influence of the shadowing effect and initial state parton energy loss in the quarkonium production at HERA-B. We analyze the xF behavior of the effective exponent α(xF ) and present a comparison with the preliminary HERA-B data for J/Ψ production. Moreover, we estimate the magnitude of these effects in the J/Ψ production at RHIC. The relativistic collider faciliti...
متن کاملThe A Dependence of Open Charm and Bottom Production
We study inclusive heavy quark and exclusive heavy quark pair production in pp, pA and AA interactions. Intrinsic transverse momentum is introduced in pp interactions. Nuclear effects, limited to kT broadening and nuclear shadowing, are introduced in pA and AA interactions. The nuclear dependence is studied over a range of energies, both in fixed target and collider setups.
متن کاملHeavy Flavor Production at PHENIX at RHIC
A study of heavy flavor production in different collision systems in various kinematic regions presents an opportunity to probe cold nuclear medium and hot dense matter effects. Results from the PHENIX experiment on J/ψ and open charm production in Au+Au and Cu+Cu collisions at sNN =200 GeV are presented. The data show strong J/ψ suppression in central AA collisions, similar to NA50 results, an...
متن کاملTrends in multiparticle production and some “ pre - dictions ” for pp and PbPb collisions at LHC
Based on trends seen at lower energies we “predict” the multiplicities and pseudorapidity distributions of particle density and elliptic flow that will be seen in PbPb and pp collisions at the LHC. We argue that, if these predictions turn out to be correct, either these quantities are insensitive to the state of matter created in high energy heavy ion collisions or the observed simplicity and u...
