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…

Elliptic flow and incomplete equilibration at RHIC
R. S. Bhalerao, J. -P. Blaizot, N. Borghini +1
We argue that RHIC data, in particular those on the anisotropic flow coefficients v_2 and v_4, suggest that the matter produced in the early stages of nucleus-nucleus collisions is…

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…
