Hints of incomplete thermalization in RHIC data
Nicolas Borghini
The large elliptic flow observed in Au-Au collisions at RHIC is often put forward as a compelling evidence for the formation of a strongly-interacting quark-gluon plasma. The main…
Momentum spectra, anisotropic flow, and ideal fluids
N. Borghini, J. -Y. Ollitrault
If the matter produced in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions reaches thermal equilibrium, its subsequent evolution follows the laws of ideal fluid dynamics. We show that genera…
Characterization and analysis of azimuthally sensitive correlations
Nicolas Borghini
A unified framework for describing the azimuthal dependence of two-particle correlations in heavy-ion collisions is introduced, together with the methods for measuring the correspo…
Azimuthally sensitive correlations in nucleus-nucleus collisions
N. Borghini, J. -Y. Ollitrault
We define a set of model-independent observables which generally characterize the azimuthal dependence of two-particle correlations in nucleus-nucleus collisions. We explain how th…
Directed flow at RHIC from Lee-Yang zeroes
N. Borghini, J. -Y. Ollitrault
Directed flow in ultrarelativistic nucleus-nucleus collisions is analyzed using the reaction plane from elliptic flow, which reduces the bias from nonflow effects. We combine this…
Anisotropic flow from Lee-Yang zeroes: a practical guide
N. Borghini, R. S. Bhalerao, J. -Y. Ollitrault
We present a new method to analyze anisotropic flow from the genuine correlation among a large number of particles, focusing on the practical implementation of the method.
