Abstract
Hadronic resonances are unique probes that allow the properties of heavyion collisions to be studied. Topics that can be studied include modification of spectral shapes, in-medium energy loss of parsons, vector-meson spin alignment, hydrodynamic flow, recombination, strangeness production, and the properties of the hadronic phase. Measurements of resonances in p+p, p+A, and d+A collisions serve as baselines for heavy-ion studies and also permit searches for possible collective effects in these smaller systems. These proceedings present a selection of results related to these topics from experiments at RHIC, LHC, and other facilities, as well as comparisons to theoretical models.
Highlights
Measurements of hadronic resonances allow the properties of ion-ion collisions to be studied at various stages in their evolution for both small and large collision systems
I will discuss the ways in which resonances can contribute to studies of strangeness production and the various mechanisms that determine the shapes of particle pT spectra
Resonances are useful in a wide variety of studies in heavy-ion physics
Summary
Measurements of hadronic resonances allow the properties of ion-ion collisions to be studied at various stages in their evolution for both small and large collision systems In these proceedings I will discuss a selection of such measurements. I will discuss the ways in which resonances can contribute to studies of strangeness production and the various mechanisms that determine the shapes of particle pT spectra. These proceedings will touch on the nuclear modification factors, spin alignment, and elliptic flow of resonances and the possibility of modifications to their spectral shapes.
