Hadron production in relativistic heavy-ion collisions at LHC energies is investigated. After a brief consideration of stopping, particle production is accounted for in a nonequilibrium-statistical model with two fragmentation sources, and a central source that is mostly due to low-x gluon-gluon collisions. The particle content and energy dependence of the three sources is discussed for AuAu (RHIC) and PbPb (LHC). Results for asymmetric pPb collisions are compared with ALICE and preliminary ATLAS data. The suppression of ϒ-mesons in the hot quark-gluon medium in PbPb collisions as compared to pp at √sNN = 2.76 TeV is accounted for in a model that encompasses gluodissociation, collisional damping, screening, and reduced feed-down. Results are compared with CMS and ALICE data.
