High $p_T > 10$ GeV elliptic flow, which is experimentally measured via the correlation between soft and hard hadrons, receives competing contributions from event-by-event fluctuations of the low $p_T$ elliptic flow and event plane angle…

The E895 and STAR experiments demonstrate that the slopes of directed flow with respect to rapidity ($dv_1/dy|_{y=0}$) of mesons are negative in the low transverse momentum ($p_T$) region, $p_T < 0.8$ GeV/$c$, in Au + Au collisions at…

In this contribution we summarize recent progress in understanding the shear viscosity of strongly correlated dilute Fermi gases. We discuss predictions from kinetic theory, and show how these predictions can be tested using recent…
Neutron-proton elliptic flow difference and ratio have been shown to be promising observables in the attempt to constrain the density dependence of the symmetry energy above the saturation point from heavy-ion collision data. Their…
New data on the $J/\psi$ suppression both in proton-nucleus and in lead-lead interactions have been presented recently by the NA50 collaboration. We show that these data, together with the final ones on sulfur-uranium interactions, can be…
