This component captures a significant portion of the ridge and shoulder structures in the $\\Delta\\phi$ distribution\, which have been observed after contributions from elliptic flow are subtr acted. An average finite triangularity due to event-by-event fluctuations in the initial matter distribution\, followed by collective flow\, natura lly produces a $\\cos (3\\Delta\\phi)$ correlation. Using ideal and visco us hydrodynamics\, and transport theory\, we study the physics of triangul ar ($v_3$) flow in comparison to elliptic ($v_2$)\, quadrangular ($v_4$) a nd pentagonal ($v_5$) flow. We make quantitative predictions for $v_3$ at RHIC and LHC as a function of centrality and transverse momentum. Our re sults for the centrality dependence of $v_3$ show a quantitative agreement with data extracted from previous correlation measurements by the STAR co llaboration. This study supports previous results on the importance of tri angular flow in the understanding of ridge and shoulder structures. Triang ular flow is found to be a sensitive probe of initial geometry fluctuation s and viscosity.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId =26&confId=75549 LOCATION:CERN TH Theory Conference Room URL:http://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=26&confId=75549 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Sensitivity of collective flow to non-equilibrium effects DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20100817T092000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20100817T100000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130520T055522Z UID:indico-contribution-75549-27@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Dr. BOZEK\, Piotr ()\nThe estimation of deviations f rom local equilibrium in heavy-ion \ncollisions is essential in getting information on the microscopic \nrates/processes in the dense matter.

In this calculation the scattering and multiple emissions of parto ns within a jet is computed entirely within perturbation theory. The scatt ering matrix elements are assumed to be factorized into a hard partonic pa rt and a soft non-perturbative part. The soft part may be expressed as the expectation of certain operator products in the medium. There exist a set of related operators which encode the usual transport coefficients which describe transverse broadening\, elastic energy loss and longitudinal diff usion. Relating these operators to each other such that there exists only one undetermined constant\, which is scaled with temperature according to its energy dimensions\, we successfully describe both heavy and light flav or jet modification. Imposing additional constraints on the coefficients s uch as requiring that they be computed within Leading Order HTL tends to w orsen the fit. This indicates that jet quenching coefficients cannot be ca lculated at Leading Order in HTL theory.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/contribu tionDisplay.py?contribId=28&confId=75549 LOCATION:CERN TH Theory Conference Room URL:http://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=28&confId=75549 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Entropy Production in high energy Heavy Ion Collisions DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20100831T132000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20100831T140000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130520T055522Z UID:indico-contribution-75549-43@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Prof. SCHÄFER\, Andreas (University of Regensburg)\ nhttp://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=43&confId=75549 LOCATION:CERN TH Theory Conference Room URL:http://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=43&confId=75549 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Charmonia at finite temperature and momentum DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20100906T080000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20100906T090000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130520T055522Z UID:indico-contribution-75549-40@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Prof. ASAKAWA\, Masayuki (University of Osaka)\nIn t his talk\, I will present recent results of spectral functions of\ncharmon ia at finite temperature and momentum obtained\nfrom lattice correlators.
