Several transport models have been employed in recent years to analyze heavy-flavor meson spectra high-energy heavy-ion collisions. Heavy-quark coefficients extracted from these with their default parameters vary, however, by up a factor of 5 at high momenta. To investigate the origin this large theoretical uncertainty, systematic comparison heavy-quark is carried out between various models. Within common scheme devised for nuclear modification charm quarks brick medium quark-gluon plasma,...

We study cluster and hypernuclei production in heavy-ion collisions at relativistic energies employing the parton-hadron-quantum-molecular-dynamics (PHQMD) approach, a microscopic $n$-body transport model based on QMD propagation of baryonic degrees freedom with density dependent two-body potential interactions. All other ingredients PHQMD, including collision integral treatment quark-gluon plasma (QGP) phase, are adopted from parton-hadron-string-dynamics (PHSD) approach. In PHQMD formation...
Heavy flavor observables provide valuable information on the properties of hot and dense Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP) created in ultra-relativistic nucleus-nucleus collisions. Various microscopic models have successfully described many associated with its formation. Their transport coefficients differ, however, due to different assumptions about underlying interaction heavy quarks plasma constituents, initial geometries formation times, hadronization processes a time evolution QGP. In this study...
In the pre-thermal equilibrium stage of relativistic heavy-ion collisions, a strong quasi-classical transverse gluon field emerges at about τ0≃0.1fm/c and evolves together with their longitudinal counterparts according to classical Yang-Mills (CYM) equations. Recently it has been shown that these fields induce diffusion charm quarks in momentum space resulting tilt spectrum without significant drag. We find nucleus-nucleus collisions LHC such novel dynamics leads an initial enhancement...

In Ultra-relativistic Heavy-Ion Collisions (HICs) very strong initial electro-magnetic (E.M.) fields are created: the order of magnitude magnetic field is about $10^{19} \, Gauss$, most intense in Universe, even larger than that a magnetar. These rapidly decrease time, inducing drift particles reaction plane. The resulting flow odd under charge exchange and this allows to distinguish it from large vorticity bulk matter due angular momentum conservation. Conjointly charm quarks, thanks their...
Abstract We review the properties of strongly interacting quark‐gluon plasma (QGP) at finite temperature and baryon chemical potential as created in heavy‐ion collisions ultrarelativistic energies. The description (non‐perturbative) QGP equilibrium is based on effective propagators couplings from Dynamical QuasiParticle Model (DQPM) that matched to reproduce equation‐of‐state partonic system above deconfinement lattice QCD. Based a microscopic transport collisions, we discuss which...
