Session 1: Heavy quark production and spectroscopy
- Nick Solomey (Wichita State University)
We discuss open heavy flavor and quarkonium production in $p+p$ and $p+A$ collisions. We describe cold nuclear matter effects in the context of $p+A$ collisions.

The properties of parton shower in QCD depend on the flavor of the parton involved in the 1 → 2 splitting processes that drive the showers. In particular, they are sensitive to the different Casimir factors of quarks and gluons, as well as to parton mass effects. To explore these dependencies, we use heavy-flavor jets as an experimental tool, with a particular focus on the low transverse...
Heavy quark exotic candidates continue to be observed at CERN and other laboratories. A survey of the field is made with focus on whether an organizational scheme for the multitude of states is possible.
The Belle and Belle$~$II experiments have collected a $1.4~\mathrm{ab}^{-1}$ sample of $e^+e^-$ collision data at centre-of-mass energies near the $\Upsilon(nS)$ resonances. These data include a 19.2$~$fb$^{-1}$ sample collected near the $\Upsilon(10753)$ resonance to probe its potentially exotic nature. We present several results related to the following processes: $e^+e^-\to...
