Abstract Quark–Gluon Plasma (QGP), a QCD state of matter created in ultra-relativistic
heavy-ion collisions, has remarkable properties including, for example, a low shear viscosity …

We present a review of the conceptual basis, current knowledge, and recent progress
regarding global analysis of nuclear parton distribution functions (PDFs). After introducing …

This paper reports world averages of measurements of b-hadron, c-hadron, and τ-lepton
properties obtained by the Heavy Flavor Averaging Group using results available before …

A clear understanding of nuclear parton distribution functions (nPDFs) plays a crucial role in
the interpretation of collider data taken at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider, the Large …

Based on 10 billion J/ψ events collected at the BESIII experiment, a search for CP violation
in Λ decay is performed in the difference between CP-odd decay parameters α-for Λ→ p π …

Prospects for quarkonium-production studies accessible during the upcoming high-
luminosity phases of the CERN Large Hadron Collider operation after 2021 are reviewed …

The production of χ c 1 (3872) and ψ (2 S) hadrons is studied as a function of charged
particle multiplicity in pp collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 8 TeV, corresponding to an …

The performance of the ring-imaging Cherenkov detectors at the LHCb experiment is
determined during the LHC Run 2 period between 2015 and 2018. The stability of the …

The production of ϒ mesons in Pb–Pb collisions at a centre-of-mass energy per nucleon pair
s NN= 5.02 TeV is measured with the muon spectrometer of the ALICE detector at the LHC …

The ALICE experiment was proposed in 1993, to study strongly-interacting matter at extreme
energy densities and temperatures. This proposal entailed a comprehensive investigation of …
