We present the elliptic flow ($v_{2}$) of light nuclei at mid-rapidity in Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 200 GeV. The results are measured in the STAR experiment at RHIC. The $v_{2}$ measurement for light nuclei as a function of…
Hydrodynamic models fail to describe the near-equal $v_2/v_3$ ratio observed in ultra-central heavy-ion collisions, despite their success in other centrality classes. This discrepancy stems from shear viscosity suppressing higher-order…
We present measurements of pion elliptic flow ($v_2$) in Au+Au collisions at $\sNN =$ 200, 62.4, 39, 27 and 19.6 GeV, as a function of event-by-event charge asymmetry ($A_{\pm}$), based on data from the STAR experiment at RHIC. We find that…
Fluctuations in the initial geometry of a nucleus-nucleus collision have been recently shown to result in a new type of directed flow (v_1) that, unlike the usual directed flow, is also present at midrapidity. We compute this new v_1 versus…

We analyse the effect of quenched uncorrelated randomness coupling to the local energy density of a model consisting of N coupled two-dimensional Ising models. For N>2 the pure model exhibits a fluctuation-driven first order transition,…
Although elastic scattering of nucleons may look like a simple process, it presents a long-lasting challenge for theory. Due to missing hard energy scale, the perturbative QCD can not be applied. Instead, many phenomenological/theoretical…
