We study the charm quark elliptic flow ($v_{2}$) in heavy ion as well as small system collisions by tracking the evolution history of quarks of different flavors within a multi-phase transport model. The charm quark $v_{2}$ is studied as a…
Event-by-event viscous hydrodynamics is combined with heavy quark energy loss models to compute heavy flavor flow cumulants $v_2\{2\}$, $v_3\{2\}$, and $v_2\{4\}$ as well as the nuclear modification factors of $D^0$ and $B^0$ mesons in PbPb…
In earlier studies we have proposed that most parton $v_2$ comes from the anisotropic escape of partons, not from the hydrodynamic flow, even for semi-central Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt {s_{NN}}=200$ GeV. Here we study the flavor dependence…
Charm elliptic flow in heavy ion collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) is studied in a multiphase transport model. Assuming that the cross section for charm quark scattering with other light quarks is the same as that…
From covariant transport theory, a significant ~10% light quark elliptic flow at RHIC implies an elliptic flow of similar magnitude for charm quarks, at moderately large pT > 2.5 - 3 GeV. At lower transverse momenta, charm quark elliptic…
Heavy quarks (i.e. charm and beauty) in heavy-ion collisions are initially produced out of kinetic equilibrium via hard partonic scattering processes. However, recent measurements of anisotropic flow of charmed hadrons pose the question…
Recent PHENIX Au+Au -> e- + X data from open charm decay are shown to be consistent with two extreme opposite dynamical scenarios of ultra-relativistic nuclear reactions. Perturbative QCD without final state interactions was previously…
We study the evolution of charm $(c)$ quarks in hot QCD matter with $N_f=2+1(+1)$ quark flavors by analyzing the charm production rate and the time dependence of their abundance. Microscopically, the system is described within a…
Recent measurements of particle correlations and the spectra of hadrons at both RHIC and the LHC are suggestive of hydrodynamic behavior in very small collision systems (p+Pb, d+Au and p+p collisions). The measurements are both…
We apply a quark combination model with equal-velocity combination (EVC) approximation to study the elliptic flow ($v_{2}$) of hadrons in heavy-ion collisions in a wide collision energy range ($\sqrt{s_{NN}}=$ 27 - 5020 GeV). Utilizing the…
In Ultra-relativistic Heavy-Ion Collisions (HICs) very strong initial electro-magnetic (E.M.) fields are created: the order of magnitude of the magnetic field is about $10^{19} \, Gauss$, the most intense field in the Universe, even larger…
We report on new measurements of elliptic flow ($v_2$) of electrons from heavy-flavor hadron decays at mid-rapidity ($|y|<0.8$) in Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{_{\rm NN}}}$ = 27 and 54.4 GeV from the STAR experiment. Heavy-flavor decay…
We calculate the balance function for charm in relativistic heavy-ion collisions. The distribution of pairs of charm-anticharm quarks produced in hard processes in the early stages of the nucleus-nucleus collision evolves in the dense…
Using the perturbative method for the simulation of charmed particles, the dynamical origin of charm quark elliptic flow is studied in the framework of a multi-phase transport (AMPT) model. Besides the expected ordering relative to that of…
We present an overview of the recent abundant measurements for charm production at RHIC. The significant information of charm cross sections in different collision system at 200 GeV and charmed hadron freeze-out and flow properties…
A fluid-dynamic approach to charm-quark diffusion in the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) is developed for the first time. Results for integrated yields and momentum distributions of charmed hadrons obtained with a fluid-dynamic description for the…
Heavy quarks are powerful tools to characterize the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) produced in relativistic nuclear collisions. By exploiting a mapping between transport theory and hydrodynamics, we developed a fluid-dynamic description of…
A long standing question in the field of heavy-ion collisions is whether charm quarks are thermalized within the Quark Gluon Plasma. In recent years, progress in lattice QCD simulations has led to reliable results for the equation of state…
We investigate charm-quark dynamics in asymmetric Cu+Au collisions at top RHIC energy using a Langevin approach embedded in a realistic hydrodynamic background. The intrinsic asymmetry of the colliding nuclei leads to a spatially lopsided…
I review recent developments in the field of relativistic hydrodynamics and its application to the bulk dynamics in heavy-ion collisions at the Relativistic Heavy- Ion Collider (RHIC) and the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). In particular, I…
