Heavy Ion Collisions at the LHC - Last Call for Predictions

S. Abreu, S. V. Akkelin, J. Alam +164

This writeup is a compilation of the predictions for the forthcoming Heavy Ion Program at the Large Hadron Collider, as presented at the CERN Theory Institute 'Heavy Ion Collisions…

Is Strangeness Still Strange at the LHC?

G. G. Barnafoldi, G. Fai, P. Levai +2

Strangeness production is calculated in a pQCD-based model (including nuclear effects) in the high transverse momentum sector, where pQCD is expected to work well. We investigate p…

Hadron production in deuteron-gold collisions and nuclear parton distributions

Adeola Adeluyi, George Fai

We calculate nuclear modification factors , central-to-peripheral ratios, , and pseudorapidity asymmetries in deuteron-gold collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 20…

Selection of special orientations in relativistic collisions of deformed heavy nuclei

C. Nepali, G. Fai, D. Keane

We have studied U+U collisions at = 200 GeV using Monte Carlo Glauber, UrQMD and AMPT models. We find that it is possible to separate central tip-tip events as well…

Heavy-Quark Kinetics in the QGP at LHC

H. van Hees, V. Greco, R. Rapp

We present predictions for the nuclear modification factor and elliptic flow of D and B mesons, as well as of their decay electrons, in semicentral Pb-Pb collisions at the LHC. Hea…

Thermal Dileptons at LHC

H. van Hees, R. Rapp

We predict dilepton invariant-mass spectra for central 5.5 ATeV Pb-Pb collisions at LHC. Hadronic emission in the low-mass region is calculated using in-medium spectral functions o…
