Within a parton cascade we investigate the dependence of anisotropies in momentum space, namely the elliptic flow $v_2=<cos(2\phi)>$ and the $v_4=<cos(4\phi)>$, on both the finite shear viscosity $\eta$ and the freeze-out (f.o.) dynamics at…

I study a possible effect of momentum deposition from many hard partons traversing the hot and dense region produced early in nuclear collisions at the LHC. The expected number of such hard partons is large. It is argued that the induced…
Correlation measurements imply that anisotropic flow in nuclear collisions includes a novel triangular component along with the more familiar elliptic-flow contribution. Triangular flow has been attributed to event-wise fluctuations in the…

The longitudinal asymmetry in relativistic heavy ion collisions arises from the fluctuation in the number of nucleons involved. This asymmetry causes a rapidity shift in the center of mass of the participating zone. Both the rapidity shift…
