The flexibility of RHIC to collide different nuclei provides experiments with a rich resource to systematically test models and scaling behaviors and compare the results to those from Au+Au collisions. For an initial evaluation of the Cu+Au collision system, PHENIX has earmarked several measurements for fast analysis, in particular, forward/backward and central-rapidity J/psi production. ...

Recently harmonic flow coefficients v_1-v_6 have been measured in heavy-ion collisions at LHC. The magnitude of these coefficients and their centrality dependence suggest that they are associated with the various shape components in the initial geometry, arising from fluctuations of the participating nucleons in the overlap region. The orientation of these harmonic flow (event plane or Psi_n)...

The properties of the produced matter in a heavy-ion collision can be experimentally studied by measuring the azimuthal anisotropy in the momentum distribution of the produced particles. Quantified by the anisotropic flow coefficients, v_n, and corresponding symmetry planes, psi_n, such anisotropy is expected to reflect the shape of the initial energy density of the collision. We report on the...

The higher-order flow anisotropies of charged particles have been systematically studied by the CMS collaboration for PbPb collisions at a nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass energy of 2.76 TeV. The data were collected with the CMS detector at the LHC in 2010 and 2011. Fourier components of the anisotropic azimuthal distribution, ranging from the third to the sixth component, are obtained using...

The anisotropic flow at forward rapidity provides information on the longitudinal expansion of the system produced in a heavy-ion collision. We report on the pseudo-rapidity dependence of the charged particle anisotropic flow in Pb-Pb collisions at 2.76 TeV. The measurement is done over a wide range of pseudo-rapidity, |\eta|<5.1 using the forward detectors of ALICE at the LHC. Results are...
