Hadron production in proton-nucleus (pA) collisions was previously shown to be suppressed by medium-induced fully coherent energy loss (FCEL). We show that the quenching of D and B mesons in pPb collisions at the LHC due solely to FCEL is, at least, on par with other nuclear effects such as gluon shadowing or saturation. This is consistent with previous findings for both quarkonium and light hadron production in pA collisions, emphasising that FCEL effects need to be included for a reliable understanding of hadron production measurements in pA collisions.

This final chapter provides details of worked solutions to the various problems set by the lecturers during the course of the school; some of these problems appear within the chapters of this book. This chapter also contains further exercises that were added after the school are not solved here; these are left as a challenge for the enterprising reader. Problems run the range of topics covered. These problems and solutions are associated with topics that include the introduction to EFT, renormalization theory, nuclear and atomic physics, Nambu–Goldstone modes, inflation, and large-scale structure, and how each topic relates to EFTs.
