We discuss the $\frac{K}{\pi}$ fluctuations in relativistic heavy ion collisions reported by the STAR collaboration, PRL${\bf 103}$,092301(2009), also discussed by the NA49 collaboration at SPS-CERN. We show that these fluctuations could be…
We discuss opportunities that may arise from subjecting high-multiplicity events in relativistic heavy ion collisions to an analysis similar to the one used in cosmology for the study of fluctuations of the Cosmic Microwave Background…
The new millennium's qualitative advances in relativistic heavy ion physics are in part due to, and are in part causing, a new appreciation for quantitative rigor in both experimental and theoretical work in the field. In these proceedings…
We review heavy quark and quarkonium production in high energy hadronic collisions. We discuss the status of the theoretical calculations and their uncertainties. We then compare the current theoretical results with the most recent…

We report results on event-by-event hard probe of soft matter geometry and fluctuations in heavy ion collisions. Geometric data ($v_2$ of high $p_t$ hadrons) from RHIC plus LHC clearly favors jet "monography" model with strong near-Tc…

We explore the effects of event-by-event fluctuations of Hanbury Brown-Twiss (HBT) radii and show how they can be observed experimentally. The relation of measured HBT radii extracted from ensemble-averaged correlation functions to the mean…
