Transport Theory of Heavy Flavor in Relativistic Nuclear Collisions
Shanshan Cao
A short overview is presented for the recent progress in the theory of heavy flavor transport in ultra-relativistic nuclear collisions, including a summary of different transport m…
Heavy-flavor dynamics in relativistic p-Pb collisions at TeV
Yingru Xu, Shanshan Cao, Marlene Nahrgang +4
We investigate the heavy flavor dynamics in the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) medium created in p-Pb collisions at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC). In the (3+1)-dimensional viscous…
Gluon contribution to open heavy-meson production in heavy-ion collisions
Shanshan Cao, Guang-You Qin, Xin-Nian Wang
A sizable contribution to heavy quark production in high-energy hadronic and nuclear collisions comes from heavy quark-antiquark pair production from gluon splitting during the par…
Physics perspectives of heavy-ion collisions at very high energy
Ning-bo Chang, Shanshan Cao, Bao-yi Chen +18
Heavy-ion collisions at very high colliding energies are expected to produce a quark-gluon plasma (QGP) at the highest temperature obtainable in a laboratory setting. Experimental…
Modeling of heavy-flavor pair correlations in Au-Au collisions at 200 A GeV at the BNL Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider
Shanshan Cao, Guang-You Qin, Steffen A. Bass
We study the nuclear modification of angular and momentum correlations between heavy quark pairs in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions. The evolution of heavy quarks inside the…
Energy loss, hadronization and hadronic interactions of heavy flavors in relativistic heavy-ion collisions
Shanshan Cao, Guang-You Qin, Steffen A. Bass
We construct a theoretical framework to describe the evolution of heavy flavors produced in relativistic heavy-ion collisions. The in-medium energy loss of heavy quarks is describe…
