โฆ Synopsis
The Large Hadron Collider at CERN will open a new energy domain for heavyion physics. Besides ALICE, the dedicated heavy-ion experiment, also ATLAS and CMS are preparing rich physics programs with nucleus-nucleus collisions. Here we focus on open heavy-flavour and quarkonia studies, among the fields that will most benefit from the high centre-of-mass energy at the LHC. We discuss a few examples of physics issues that can be addressed and we present a selection and comparison (where possible) of results on the expected capability of the three experiments.

The HERA-B experiment has collected data on proton-induced collisions with three fixed nuclear targets at 41.6 GeV centre-of-mass energy. Preliminary results of an ongoing, detailed study of charmonium production include the determination of the nuclear dependence of the J/ฯ production kinematics (e
