Abstract
This document reports on the main topics discussed in the experimental overview talk on p(d)-A results given at the Hot Quarks 2014 Workshop. Recent measurements of the production of high transverse momentum hadrons and jets, inclusive identified particles and their correlations, quarkonia and vector bosons are presented. They represent a small set of the currently available results, which provide a deeper understanding of the hot QCD matter produced in A-A collisions and reveal the presence of unexpected phenomena in small systems.
Highlights
A wealth of physics results are reported by RHIC and LHC experiments, providing further understanding of the dynamics of the hot QCD matter produced in nucleus-nucleus (A– A) reactions and exciting insight for genuine proton(deuteron)-nucleus (p–A, d–A) physics
Measurements of the production of high transverse momentum hadrons and jets allow to conclude that the suppression observed in A–A collisions is not due to an initial-state effect, but it is rather the fingerprint of jet quenching in hot QCD matter
Understanding initial-state and cold nuclear matter effects High transverse momentum hadrons, arising from the fragmentation of partons scattered with large momentum transfer, provide an excellent probe of the high energy-density matter created in relativistic heavy-ion collisions
