Heavy Ions at LHC: Theoretical Issues
نویسندگان
چکیده
We give a brief overview of our current theoretical understanding of ultrarelativistic heavy ion collision and the properties of super-hot nuclear matter. We focus on several issues that have been discussed in connection with experimental results from the CERN SPS and from the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider RHIC. We give an extrapolation of our current knowledge to LHC energies and ask which physics questions can be addressed at the LHC. PACS: 24.85.+p,25.75.Nq,13.85.-t

متن کاملThe Qcd Pomeron in Ultraperipheral Heavy Ion Collisions: Iv. Photonuclear Production of Vector Mesons
The photonuclear production of vector mesons in ultraperipheral heavy ion collisions is investigated within the QCD color dipole picture, with particular emphasis on the saturation model. The integrated cross section and the rapidity distribution for the AA → V AA (V = ρ, ω, φ, J/Ψ) process are computed and theoretical estimates for scattering on both light and heavy nuclei are given for energi...
متن کاملCharm and beauty of the Large Hadron Collider
With the acceleration of lead nuclei in the LHC, heavy-ion physics will enter a new energy domain. One of the main novelties introduced by the 30-fold energy-jump from RHIC to the LHC is the abundant heavy-quark production. After discussing a few examples of physics issues that can be addressed using heavy quarks, we present a selection of results on the expected experimental capability of ALIC...
متن کاملRM3-TH/06-21 CERN-PH-TH/2006-228 Introduction to the Terascale
The first collisions at the LHC are expected near the end of ’07. The physics run at 14 TeV will start in the spring of ’08. The particle physics community eagerly waits for the answers to the big questions that one expects to get from the LHC. The top physics issues at the LHC, addressed by the ATLAS and CMS collaborations, will be: 1) the experimental clarification of the Higgs sector of the ...
متن کاملترکش مزونهای سنگین در LHC
Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN will provide excellent opportunity to study the production and decay of heavy mesons and baryons with high statistics. We aim at the heavy mesons in this work and calculate their fragmentation functions consistent with this machine and present their total fragmentation probabilities and average fragmentation parameters.
