Anisotropic flow of hadrons is studied in heavy ion collisions at SPS and RHIC energies within the microscopic quark-gluon string model. The model was found to reproduce correctly many of the flow features, e.g., the wiggle structure of…
The phenomenology of gluon saturation at small parton momentum fraction, Bjorken-x, in the proton and in the nucleus is introduced. The experimentally-accessible kinematic domains at the nucleus-nucleus colliders RHIC and LHC are discussed.…

A QCD phase transition may reflect in a inhomogeneous decoupling surface of hadrons produced in relativistic heavy-ion collisions. We show that due to the non-linear dependence of the particle densities on the temperature and…
The conditions for the HBT interferometry from stars are compared to those encountered in heavy ion reactions. As a consequence the formalism using wavepackets is developed. The modifications relative to the standard formalism with plane…
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…
The recently discovered sharp peak in the K+/pi+ ratio in relativistic heavy-ion collisions is discussed in the framework of the thermal model. In this model a rapid change is expected as the hadronic gas undergoes a transition from a…
