The effect of final state interactions on the elliptic flow coefficient measured in relativistic heavy ion collisions is investigated within the DWEF formalism established by Miller and Cramer [Phys. Rev. Lett. 94, 102302 (2005), J. Phys.…
In a hydrodynamic model, we have studied $J/\psi$ suppression and elliptic flow in Au+Au collisions at RHIC energy $\sqrt{s}$=200 GeV. At the initial time, $J/\psi$'s are randomly distributed in the fluid. As the fluid evolve in time, the…
The origin of the azimuthal anisotropy in particle yields at high pT (pT > 5 GeV/c) in RHIC collisions remains an intriguing puzzle. Traditional flow and parton energy loss models have failed to completely explain the large v2 observed at…
In the framework of a final state interaction model, we show that the so-called radial flow, i.e. the almost linear increase of the inverse slope $T$ with the mass of the produced particle, is already contained in the initial condition --…
We calculate the thermal photon transverse momentum spectra and elliptic flow in $\sqrt{s_{NN}} = 200$ GeV Au+Au collisions at RHIC and in $\sqrt{s_{NN}} = 2.76$ TeV Pb+Pb collisions at the LHC, using an ideal-hydrodynamical framework which…
We discuss different physics cases, mainly of the ALICE TPC, such as pile-up, jets in pp and PbPb, Bottonium and Charmonium spectroscopy, and there corresponding demands on the ALICE High Level Trigger (HLT) System. We show that compression…
Differential elliptic flow out to p_T ~ 5 GeV/c and particle spectra are calculated using the MPC elastic parton cascade model for Au+Au at Ecm ~ 130A GeV. The evolution is computed from parton transport theory, followed by hadronization…

Results from the PHENIX experiment at RHIC in p-p and Au+Au collisions are reviewed from the perspective of measurements in p-p collisions at the CERN-ISR which serve as a basis for many of the techniques used. Issues such as J/Psi…
Measurements of the nuclear modification factor of inclusive yields of $\pi^0$, $p\bar{p}$, non-phtonic electrons and prompt photon measured at RHIC are reviewed. Some of the difficulties arising from interpretation of these measurements…
In this paper, by using a Tsallis-Pareto-type function and the multisource thermal model, the elliptic flow coefficients of particles $\pi ^{\pm }$, $K^{\pm }$, $p+\overline{p}$, $\Lambda +\overline{% \Lambda }$, and $K_{S}^{0}$ produced in…
Employing a perturbative QCD based parton cascade we calculate the elliptic flow $v_2$ and its transverse momentum dependence $v_2(p_T)$ for the gluon matter created in Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=200$ GeV. To make comparisons with…
The observed pT-dependence of nuclear effects for J/Psi produced in heavy ion collisions at RHIC might look puzzling, since the nuclear suppression seems to fade at large pT. We explain this by the interplay of three mechanisms: (i)…
We propose a model of the Peierls transition (PT) taking into account amplitude fluctuations of the charge-density waves and spontaneous thermally activated suppression of the Peierls gap, akin to the phase slip process. The activation…

We explore the system size dependence of heavy-quark-QGP interaction by studying the heavy flavor meson suppression and elliptic flow in Pb-Pb, Xe-Xe, Ar-Ar and O-O collisions at the LHC. The space-time evolution of the QGP is simulated…
Elliptic flow in heavy-ion collisions at incident energies $E_{lab}\simeq$ (1--160)A GeV is analyzed within the model of 3-fluid dynamics (3FD). We show that a simple correction factor, taking into account dissipative affects, allows us to…
We employ a relativistic transport theory to describe the fireball expansion of the matter created in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions (uRHICs). Developing an approach to fix locally the shear viscosity to entropy density $\eta/s$,…
