Measurements of quarkonium production in p-Pb and Pb-Pb collisions with ALICE at LHC

ALICE (A Large Ion Collider Experiment) is devoted to the study of heavy-ion collisions at LHC energies. In such collisions a deconfined state of hadronic matter, the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP), is formed. Quarkonium states are important probes to study the QGP evolution since their formation happens...

Sumario:ALICE (A Large Ion Collider Experiment) is devoted to the study of heavy-ion collisions at LHC energies. In such collisions a deconfined state of hadronic matter, the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP), is formed. Quarkonium states are important probes to study the QGP evolution since their formation happens early during the collision and their production rate is modified in the interaction with the medium. The latest ALICE results on quarkonium production in Pb-Pb and p-Pb collisions will be presented and discussed.
