The centrality dependence of rapidity distributions of pions in Pb+Pb reactions can be understood by imposing local energy-momentum conservation in the longitudinal "fire-streaks" of excited matter. With no tuning nor adjustment to the…
We fit the single-hadron transverse-momentum spectra measured in Pb+Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}} = 2.76$ TeV with the blast-wave model that includes production via resonance decays. Common fit to pions, kaons, (anti)protons, and lambdas…

Pion-kaon correlation functions are constructed from central Au+Au data taken at $\sqrt{s_{NN}} = 130$ GeV. The results suggest that pions and kaons are not emitted at the same average space-time point. Space-momentum correlations, i.e.…
Collisions of protons with lead nuclei (pPb), such as those measured by the LHCb experiment, provide a unique environment to study the surprising emergence of collective, fluid-like phenomena in small systems. A key signature of this…
The directed and elliptic flow of protons and charged pions has been observed from the semi-central collisions of a 158 GeV/nucleon Pb beam with a Pb target. The rapidity and transverse momentum dependence of the flow has been measured. The…
