Anisotropic collective phenomena in ultra-relativistic nuclear collisions
نویسنده
چکیده
For a detailed review of this subject I refer to a recent paper [1]; in this talk I only very briefly comment on a few most important questions: (a) Very recent significant progress in viscous hydrodynamics calculations (b) Initial eccentricity/flow fluctuations, the effect of which has been clarified recently (c) Initial conditions, in particular the role of the gradients in the initial velocity field, (d) Puzzling system size dependence of directed flow (e) Azimuthal correlations that are sensitive to the strong parity violation (f) Future measurements at RHIC and LHC, including pp-collisions

Scaling of Anisotropic Flows in Intermediate Energy and Ultra-relativistic Heavy Ion Collisions
Anisotropic flows (v2 and v4) of hadrons and light nuclear clusters are studied by a partonic transport model and nucleonic transport model, respectively, in ultra-relativistic and intermediate energy heavy ion collisions. Both number-of-constituent-quark scaling of hadrons, especially for φ meson which is composed of strange quarks, and number-of-nucleon scaling of light nuclear clusters are d...

Mini-jet production in ultra-relativistic nuclear collisions leads to initial conditions characterized by large fluctuations of the local energy density (hot spots) and of the collective flow field (turbulence). Assuming that local equilibrium is reached on a small time scale, ∼ 0.5 fm/c, the transverse evolution of those initial conditions is computed using hydrodynamics. We find that a new cl...
متن کاملMultifragmentation, Clustering, and Coalescence in Nuclear Collisions
Nuclear collisions at intermediate, relativistic, and ultra-relativistic energies offer unique opportunities to study in detail manifold fragmentation and clustering phenomena in dense nuclear matter. At intermediate energies, the well known processes of nuclear multifragmentation – the disintegration of bulk nuclear matter in clusters of a wide range of sizes and masses – allow the study of th...

The various kinds of flow phenomena such as directed flow, elliptic flow and radial flow have been observed in recent experiment at AGS and SPS [1]-[4]. Anisotropic flow phenomena are expected to show a strong dependence on the nuclear equation of state [5]. Here, for analyzing anisotropic flow phenomena with relativistic hydrodynamical model in detail, we need full calculation of (3+1)-dimensi...
متن کاملAnisotropic flow in ultra-relativistic heavy ion collisions
A sign reversal of the directed flow parameter v1 in the central rapidity region in Au+Au collisions at √ s = 200 AGeV is predicted. This anti-flow is shown to be linked to the expansion of the hot matter created. In line with this observation the predicted elliptic flow parameter v2 of various particle species is linked to the mean free path of these particles. LBNL-preprint: LBNL-46096 Typese...
