All stages of a heavy-ion collision affect the observables associated with heavy quarks: the initial phase space of the heavy quarks are sampled with PYTHIA8.1, the heavy quarks are evolved using Langevin dynamics and a 3+1-dimensional hydrodynamical description of the heavy-ion collision, and are fragmented and hadronized using a modified version of the color evaporation model that takes into account non-trivial evolution in position space, as well as the possibility of recombinant quarkonium production in heavy-ion collisions. We use this to re-examine the production of quarkonium at RHIC, and anticipating vertex detection we predict yields of B_c mesons at RHIC and the LHC.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2011-11-02T20:26:58.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "25.75.Cj" ], "keywords": [ "heavy quarks", "parton evolution", "event generation", "hadronization", "initialization" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Physical Review C", "year": 2012, "month": "Sep", "volume": 86, "number": 3, "pages": "034905" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 17, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 944396, "adsabs": "2012PhRvC..86c4905Y" } } }
