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…
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…
Thermalization and elliptic flow at RHIC
Nicolas Borghini, Phuong Mai Dinh, Jean-Yves Ollitrault
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 corr…
