2WLB.00001: Probing the Quark-gluon Plasma with Jets and Heavy-flavor Particles Invited Speaker: Hiroki Yokoyama Ultra-relativistic heavy ion collisions allow the study of nuclear matter at extreme temperatures and energy densities, where Quark Gluon Plasma (QGP) is expected to be created. Jets, the sprays of hadrons resulting from the fragmentation of high-energy partons, and the heavy-flavor hadrons are one of the most powerful probes for QGP transport properties, since they are mainly originated in initial hard parton scatterings and thus experience from full evolution of the system. The measurement of their production in heavy ion collisions and the comparison with what expected from pp or p-Pb collisions give insight into the parton in-medium energy loss, their interactions by elastic and radiative processes, and in particular for heavy-flavor particle, its dependence on quark mass and/or color charge. In this talk, recent results from jets and heavy-flavor particles measurements given at the LHC will be presented. |

2WLB.00002: Heavy flavor physics at RHIC Invited Speaker: Takashi Hachiya Open heavy flavor and quarkonium is powerful tool to investigate the properties of the hot and dense medium created in high energy heavy ion collisions. |

2WLB.00003: Future Jet and Heavy Flavor Measurements at RHIC Invited Speaker: Megan Connors Early experiments at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider discovered the Quark Gluon Plasma is a nearly perfect liquid of deconfined quarks and gluons. Since the first discoveries of jet quenching and flow, upgrades to the STAR and PHENIX detectors and the increased luminosity of RHIC have enabled more detailed description of the QGP. In particular, sPHENIX, which is scheduled to start taking data in 2023, is designed for high precision jet and heavy flavor measurements. This talk will discuss the jet and heavy flavor measurements achievable with the upgrades at RHIC within the next decade and how these measurements attain the goals set forth in the 2015 Nuclear Physics Long Range Plan. |
