Description
Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) predicts a deconfined state of quarks and gluons: Quark Gluon Plasma (QGP). Studying the transport and medium properties of QGP will greatly deepen our understanding of the strong interaction. Heavy quarks created in the collisions are golden probes of the medium and provide unique insights into in-medium energy loss, diffusion coefficient, hadronization mechanism and the temperature of QGP. Moreover, the fate of exotic hadrons in heavy-ion collisions opens new opportunities to revealing their nature that remains unknown since two decades ago. In this talk, I will discuss the fruitful experimental studies of heavy-flavors, quarkonia and exotic hadrons in heavy-ion collisions and the perspectives for the future experiments.
