Cold nuclear effects on heavy flavours (a review)
arXiv:0901.1647 · doi:10.1088/0954-3899/36/6/064024
Abstract
Before wondering about the quark-gluon plasma (QGP), one has to take into account various cold (normal) nuclear matter effects, that can be probed through p+A like collisions. This article aims at reviewing the current results (and understanding) of these effects on heavy quarks and quarkonia production.
