Abstract
We begin by summarizing a study of the ϕ
N
correlation function, motivated by recent femtoscopy measurements reported by the ALICE Collaboration. The analysis is carried out within a hadronic effective Lagrangian framework incorporating coupled-channel dynamics, and yields a quantitative description of the experimental data. We then present an overview of results from transport-model simulations of 12 GeV pA reactions, aimed at investigating the behavior of the ϕ meson in nuclear matter. Particular emphasis is placed on the underlying production mechanisms of the ϕ meson and their impact on the resulting dilepton spectra. Finally, QCD sum rule predictions on the modifications of the two independent polariation modes of the ϕ meson, which could be studied at the J-PARC E16 and/or E88 experiments, will also be discussed.
The Heavy Meson (Hymn) collaboration presents a new extraction of D meson fragmentation functions using experimental data from LEP and LHC. We focus particularly on kinematical regimes where perturbative QCD should be safely applicable to avoid contamination from higher-twist effects which could lead to an apparent pro...

A first-principles investigation of heavy-light meson behaviour in hot QCD matter is essential for the interpretation of experimental results associated with open heavy flavour productions in relativistic heavy-ion collision experiments. Using anisotropic lattice ensembles from the FASTSUM collaboration with Nf=2+1 dyn...

We study the process of double parton scattering (DPS) associated with the photoproduction at a future Electron-Ion collider (EIC) and HERA. We show that in the case of the resolved photon the 1 to 2 processes lead, even at small transverse momenta of the hard processes , to the increase of the DPS by a factor of order...
We investigate the properties of $\rho$, $\psi$, and $\Upsilon$ mesons within a holographic AdS/QCD framework, capturing both their vacuum phenomenology and in-medium dynamics. By reconstructing flavor-specific gauge kinetic functions within a model originally developed to study thermodynamic functions, we compute the...
We review and extend recent progress on QCD-like phases at nonzero temperature and chemical potentials within the gauge-gravity duality. We focus on the Witten-Sakai-Sugimoto model, a top-down approach based on string theory which allows for a unified treatment of mesons, baryons and quarks. Phases such as pion condens...
