• DD¯ ∗ scattering and χc1(3872) in nuclear matter 

      Albaladejo, M.; Nieves, J.; Tolos Rigueiro, Laura (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-09)
      We study the behavior of the χc1(3872), also known as X(3872), in dense nuclear matter. We begin from a picture in vacuum of the X(3872) as a purely molecular (DD¯¯¯∗-c.c) state, generated as a bound state from a heavy-quark ...
    • Effective kinetic description of event-by-event pre-equilibrium dynamics in high-energy heavy-ion collisions 

      Kurkela, Aleksi; Mazeliauskas, Aleksas; Paquet, Jean-Francois; Schlichting, Sören; Teaney, Derek (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      We develop a macroscopic description of the space-time evolution of the energy-momentum tensor during the pre-equilibrium stage of a high-energy heavy-ion collision. Based on a weak coupling effective kinetic description ...
    • In-medium kinetic theory of D mesons and heavy-flavor transport coefficients 

      Torres-Rincon, Juan M.; Montaña, Glòria; Ramos, Àngels; Rigueiro, Laura Tolos (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      We extend the kinetic theory of D mesons to accommodate thermal and off-shell effects due to the medium modification of the heavy-meson spectral functions. From the Kadanoff-Baym approach we derive the off-shell Fokker-Planck ...
    • Predicting parton energy loss in small collision systems 

      Huss, Alexander; Kurkela, Aleksi; Mazeliauskas, Aleksas; Paatelainen, Risto; van der Schee, Wilke; Wiedemann, Urs Achim (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Medium induced parton energy loss is not conclusively established either in very peripheral heavy-ion collisions or in proton-ion collisions. However, the standard interpretation of azimuthal momentum anisotropies in these ...
