Anisotropies in the final state of heavy-ion collisions carry information on the creation, expansion and evolution of the quark-gluon plasma. Currently, there is an abundance of studies on azimuthal anisotropies in comparison to…
Relativistic heavy ion collisions have reached energies that enable the creation of a novel state of matter termed the quark-gluon plasma. Many observables point to a picture of the medium as rapidly equilibrating and expanding as a nearly…
Using the HYDJET++ model, we measure the higher-order flow harmonics $v_{n}$(n=2,3,4) of (multi-) strange hadrons in Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 200 GeV and Pb+Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 2.76 TeV. We have compared our…
We argue that the traditional event-plane method, which is still widely used to analyze anisotropic flow in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions, should be abandoned because flow fluctuations introduce an uncontrolled bias in the…
Correlations of different azimuthal flow harmonics $v_n$ and symmetry planes $\Psi_n$ can add constraints to theoretical models, and probe aspects of the system that are independent of the traditional single-harmonic measurements. Using…
