Anisotropic flow: Achievements, Difficulties, Expectations
arXiv:0805.1351 · doi:10.1088/0954-3899/35/10/104014
Abstract
Anisotropic flow measurements play a crucial role in understanding the physics and bulk properties of the system created in heavy ion collisions. In this talk I briefly review the most important results obtained so far, recent developments in the analysis techniques and the interpretation of the results, and what should we expect next, both at RHIC and LHC. I also discuss event anisotropies sensitive to the strong parity violation effects.
