By generalizing the statistical model for particle production to the spin degree of freedom of initially produced J/psi, we study the spin projection J_y of J/psi perpendicular to the reaction plane in peripheral heavy ion collisions at the LHC energy that leads to a strong, albeit of short duration, magnetic field. We find that for J/psis produced directly from charm and anticharm quarks in the color singlet state, like that in the Color-Singlet Model, their yield in the presence of the magnetic field is larger for J_y=0 than for J_y=1 or -1. This leads to a spin asymmetry of finally produced J/psi even after including their final-state scattering in the produced quark-gluon plasma.

We briefly review the predictions of the thermal model for hadron production in comparison to latest data from RHIC and extrapolate the calculations to LHC energy. Our main emphasis is to confront the model predictions with the recently released data
from ALICE at the LHC. This comparison reveals an apparent anomaly for protons and anti-protons which we discuss briefly. We also demonstrate that our statistical hadronization predictions for J/$psi$ production agree very well with the most recent LHC data, lending support to the picture in which there is complete charmonium melting in the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) followed by statistical generation of J/$psi$ mesons at the phase boundary.
The photoproduction of heavy vector mesons in the electromagnetic interactions of ultra-relativistic nuclei is sensitive to the gluon distribution in the nucleus and thus to cold nuclear matter effects like shadowing or parton saturation. Besides the
well known observations of vector meson production in ultra-peripheral collisions, first observations of an excess over the expected hadronic J/$psi$ production at very low transverse momentum ($p_T < $~0.3 GeV/$c$) in peripheral and semi-central nucleus-nucleus collisions both at LHC and RHIC energies were interpreted as the first sign of coherent J/$psi$ photoproduction occurring in Pb-Pb collisions with nuclear overlap. The ALICE Collaboration published the J/$psi$ coherent photoproduction cross sections in peripheral and semi-central Pb-Pb collisions at $sqrt{s_{rm NN}}$ = 2.76~TeV and forward rapidity ($2.5<y<4.0$). Using the LHC Run-2 data, ALICE presents preliminary results in peripheral Pb-Pb collisions at $sqrt{s_{rm NN}}$ = 5.02 TeV at mid-rapidity ($|y|<0.9$) and forward rapidity. Thanks to the very good tracking resolution of the central barrel, the extraction of the $p_T$-differential cross section was also possible, strengthening the photoproduction origin of the observed J/$psi$ excess. The quantitative understanding of this low-$p_T$ excess poses significant theoretical challenges since the J/$psi$ photoproduction depends on the collision dynamics as well as on the photon-flux and the photonuclear cross section. In this proceeding, we present the latest ALICE measurements on J/$psi$ photoproduction cross section in peripheral Pb-Pb collisions, with emphasis on the new forward measurement in the dimuon decay channel at $sqrt{s_{rm NN}}$ = 5.02~TeV. These results will be discussed and compared to several model calculations of J/$psi$ photoproduction in Pb-Pb collisions with nuclear overlap.
A transport approach including a leakage effect for J/psis in the transverse phase space is used to calculate the ratios between the J/psi transverse momentum distributions in several centrality bins for Pb-Pb collisions at E/A = 160 GeV. From the co
mparison with the CERN-SPS data, where the centrality is characterized by the transverse energy Et, the leakage effect is extremely important in the region of high transverse momentum and high transverse energy, and both the threshold and the comover models can describe the ratio well for all centrality bins except the most central one (Et < 100 GeV), for which the comover model calculation is considerably better than the threshold one.
The J/$psi$ azimuthal distribution relative to the reaction plane has been measured by the NA50 experiment in Pb-Pb collisions at 158 GeV/nucleon. Various physical mechanisms related to charmonium dissociation in the medium created in the heavy ion c
ollision are expected to introduce an anisotropy in the azimuthal distribution of the observed J/$psi$ mesons at SPS energies. Hence, the measurement of J/$psi$ elliptic anisotropy, quantified by the Fourier coefficient v$_2$ of the J/$psi$ azimuthal distribution relative to the reaction plane, is an important tool to constrain theoretical models aimed at explaining the anomalous J/$psi$ suppression observed in Pb-Pb collisions. We present the measured J/$psi$ yields in different bins of azimuthal angle relative to the reaction plane, as well as the resulting values of the Fourier coefficient v$_{2}$ as a function of the collision centrality and of the J/$psi$ transverse momentum. The reaction plane has been estimated from the azimuthal distribution of the neutral transverse energy detected in an electromagnetic calorimeter. The analysis has been performed on a data sample of about 100 000 events, distributed in five centrality or p$_{rm T}$ sub-samples. The extracted v$_{2}$ values are significantly larger than zero for non-central collisions and are seen to increase with p$_{rm T}$.
In this work, we debut a new implementation of IP-Glasma and quantify the pre-equilibrium longitudinal flow in the IP-Glasma framework. The saturation physics based IP-Glasma model naturally provides a non-zero initial longitudinal flow through its p
re-equilibrium Yang-Mills evolution. A hybrid IP-Glasma+MUSIC+UrQMD frame- work is employed to test this new implementation against experimental data and to make further predictions about hadronic flow observables in Pb+Pb collisions at 5.02 TeV. Finally, the non-zero pre-equilibrium longitudinal flow of the IP-Glasma model is quantified, and its origin is briefly discussed.
