It also showcases the measurement of the D0 production in p?Pb collisions at ?sNN = 5.02 TeV with the ALICE detector at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. The measurement of the D0 azimuthal anisotropy with respect to the reaction plane indicates that low- momentum charm quarks participate in the collective expansion of the high-density, strongly interacting medium formed in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions, despite their large mass. This behavior can be explained by charm hadronization via recombination with light quarks from the medium and collisional energy loss. The measurement of the D0 production in p?Pb collisions is crucial to separate the effect induced by cold nuclear matter from the final- state effects induced by the hot medium formed in Pb?Pb collisions. The D0 production in p?Pb collisions is consistent with the binary collision scaling of the production in pp collisions, demonstrating that the modification of the momentum distribution observed in Pb?Pb collisions with respect to pp is predominantly induced by final-state effects such as the charm energy loss. 410 0$aSpringer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,$x2190-5053 606 $aNuclear physics 606 $aHeavy ions 606 $aCosmology 606 $aQuantum field theory 606 $aString theory 606 $aNuclear Physics, Heavy Ions, Hadrons$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P23010 606 $aCosmology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22049 606 $aQuantum Field Theories, String Theory$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19048 615 0$aNuclear physics. 615 0$aHeavy ions. 615 0$aCosmology. 615 0$aQuantum field theory. 615 0$aString theory. 615 14$aNuclear Physics, Heavy Ions, Hadrons. 615 24$aCosmology. 615 24$aQuantum Field Theories, String Theory. 676 $a539.72162 700 $aFestanti$b Andrea$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0805580 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910254641803321 996 $aMeasurement of the D0 Meson Production in Pb?Pb and p?Pb Collisions$91808127 997 $aUNINA
