The creation of a quark-gluon plasma (QGP) is expected in heavy ion collisions. It came as a surprise that proton-proton collisions at ultrarelativistic energies show as well a ``QGP-like'' behavior and signs of the creation of a fluid, although the corresponding system size is not more than a few cubic femtometers. Even more surprisingly, also heavy flavor particles seem to be part of the fluid or at least interact with it. In this paper, we will investigate in a quantitative way this ``collective behavior'' of heavy flavor, by employing the newly developed EPOS4HQ approach, which has proven to be compatible with basic experimental data of light flavor hadrons. We will investigate all observables, which may manifest collectivity, as particle spectra, elliptic flow, baryon-to-meson ratios, and two-particle correlations, and compare the results with experimental data. We will try to disentangle initial state effects, those being due to interactions between charm quarks and plasma partons, and final state effects (hadronization).

  1. Multiplicity dependence of prompt and non-prompt J/$\psi$ production at midrapidity in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 13$ TeV

    hep-ex 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Self-normalized yields of prompt and non-prompt J/ψ increase stronger than linearly with charged-particle multiplicity in pp collisions at 13 TeV, with stronger effect in the toward azimuthal region.

  2. First measurement of $\mathbf{\rm \Xi_{\rm c}^{0}}$ production in $\mathbf{Pb}-\mathbf{Pb}$ collisions at $\mathbf{\sqrt{\textit{s}_{\rm NN}}}$ = 5.02 TeV

    nucl-ex 2026-07 accept novelty 6.0

    First measurement of prompt Ξ_c^0 baryon production in Pb–Pb collisions at √s_NN=5.02 TeV finds a nuclear modification factor reaching about 3 in the 3 < p_T < 4 GeV/c interval in 0–10% central events.

  3. Energy loss of heavy-flavor quarks in color string medium

    hep-ph 2025-09 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Preliminary simulations show charm quarks lose significantly less transverse momentum in a fluctuating color string medium than in the hydrodynamic expansion of the EPOS4HQ model.

  4. Quantum decoherence: a study applied to quarkonium-like bound states in strongly interacting matter

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 4.0

    A Lindblad master equation for a J/psi-like harmonic oscillator in an expanding QGP shows that hydrodynamic cooling slows quantum decoherence compared to a static bath, with viscosity having negligible impact.
