In this contribution we present an alternative scenario for the large elliptic flow observed in relativistic heavy ion collisions. Motivated by recent results from Lattice QCD on flavor off-diagonal susceptibilities we argue that the matter…
I discuss the elliptic flows of $\psi(2S)$ with different production mechanisms in $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=2.76$ TeV Pb-Pb collisions. If the final $\psi(2S)$s are mainly from the recombination of uncorrelated charm and anticharm quarks at $T\approx…

Collective anisotropic particle flow, a general phenomenon present in relativistic heavy-ion collisions, can be separated from direct particle-particle correlations of different physics origin by virtue of its specific azimuthal pattern. We…
