Particles produced in heavy ion collisions carry information about anisotropies present already in the early state of the system and play a crucial role in understanding the Quark Gluon Plasma and its evolution. We explore the angular power…
Anisotropies in the final state of heavy-ion collisions carry information on the creation, expansion and evolution of the quark-gluon plasma. Currently, there is an abundance of studies on azimuthal anisotropies in comparison to…
While the existence of a strongly interacting state of matter, known as 'quark-gluon plasma' (QGP), has been established in heavy ion collision experiments in the past decade, the task remains to map out the transition from the hadronic…
In this note we discuss how angular distribution of the dileptons produced in heavy ion collisions at RHIC/LHC energies can provide an information about a degree of local equilibration of the quark-gluon plasma produced at different…
Elliptic flow of direct photons in relativistic heavy ion collisions is believed to be dominated by contribution from thermal radiation of quark gluon plasma up to $p_T$ $\sim 5$ GeV/$c$, although other sources start outshining the thermal…
We discuss signatures of thermalisation in heavy ion collisions based on elliptic flow. We then propose a new method to analyse elliptic flow, based on multiparticle azimuthal correlations. This method allows one to test quantitatively the…
We report on the first measurements of elliptic and triangular flow for charged pions, kaons and anti-protons in lead-lead collisions at 2.76 TeV measured with the ALICE detector at the LHC. We compare the observed mass splitting of…
Experimental data for hadron radial and elliptic flow are used to investigate their influence on the shape of the thermal photon spectrum at RHIC. Leaving alone the actual mechanism of photon production and its time evolution, we…
We calculate the thermal photon transverse momentum spectra and elliptic flow in $\sqrt{s_{NN}} = 200$ GeV Au+Au collisions at RHIC and in $\sqrt{s_{NN}} = 2.76$ TeV Pb+Pb collisions at the LHC, using an ideal-hydrodynamical framework which…
The first results from heavy ion collisions at the Large Hadron Collider for charged particle spectra and elliptic flow are compared to an event-by-event hybrid approach with an ideal hydrodynamic expansion. This approach has been shown to…
In heavy-ion collisions, the quark-gluon plasma is expected to be produced, which is an almost perfect liquid that made up the Universe a few microseconds after the Big Bang. In these collisions, jets are also formed from hadronizing…
We introduce a new observable to probe the collective nature of the radial expansion of the quark-gluon plasma. This observable, dubbed $v_{02}(p_T)$, represents the correlation of the spectrum with elliptic flow, in the same way as the…
I compare the first viscous hydrodynamic prediction for integrated elliptic flow in Pb-Pb collisions at the LHC with the first data released by the ALICE collaboration. These new data are found to be consistent with hydrodynamic…
In this talk we describe the recently discovered rich phenomenology of elliptic flow of electromagnetic probes of the hot matter created in relativistic heavy-ion collisions. Using a hydrodynamic model for the space-time dynamics of the…
Using the coalescence model based on nucleons from a blast-wave model with its parameters fitted to the measured proton transverse momentum spectrum and elliptic flow in heavy ion collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider, we study…
The strong fluctuations in the initial energy density of heavy-ion collisions allow an efficient selection of events corresponding to a specific initial geometry. For such "shape engineered events", the elliptic flow coefficient, $v_2$, of…
We investigate the transverse momentum spectra ($p_T$) and elliptic flow ($v_2$) of $\pi^{\pm}$, $K^{\pm}$, $p$, and $\bar{p}$ produced in peripheral Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}} = 7.7$, 11.5, 19.6, 27, and 39 GeV in the Beam…
We calculate the transverse momentum and invariant mass dependence of elliptic flow of thermal dileptons for Au+Au collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. The system is described using hydrodynamics, with the assumption of…
The photon spectra measured by the ALICE collaboration in Pb+Pb collisions at Large Hadron Collider (LHC) energies has been analyzed with a view of extracting the properties of thermal system formed in these collisions. The results of the…
Elliptic flow is an interesting probe of the dynamical evolution of the dense system formed in the ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). The elliptic flow dependences on transverse momentum,…
