Speaker:  Prof. Yen-Jie Lee (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) Title:  Overview of Experimental Results on Heavy Flavor Probes from LHC Abstract: Heavy quarks, produced early in high-energy nuclear collisions, serve as calibrated probes of the quark-gluon plasma (QGP). This talk reviews recent experimental results from LHC experiments on open heavy flavor and quarkonia in pp, pA, and AA collisions. I will discuss nuclear modification and flow of charm and beauty hadrons; heavy-flavor jets and their substructure; and quarkonium suppression and (re)generation across energies and centralities. Emphasis will be placed on what are the lessons learned from these measurements. The talk will close with prospects for Run 3 and 4 and how forthcoming precision and new observables can sharpen our understanding of QGP properties.
