    Due to the low viscosity and strongly interacting QGP at high LHC energies flow fluctuations were observed up to the 8th flow harmonics. Similarly rotation, turbulence and even Kelvin-Helmholtz Instability were predicted and these may be observable by different methods. Apart of the usual flow harmonics analysis, other methods like two particle correlations, or particle polarizations may arise...

    We present an extension of relativistic single-particle distribution function for weakly interacting particles at local thermodynamical equilibrium including spin degrees of freedom, for massive spin 1/2 particles. We infer, on the basis of the global equilibrium case, that at local thermodynamical equilibrium particles acquire a net polarization proportional to the vorticity of the inverse...

    The STAR collaboration has measured the Λ and anti-Λ polarizations in 200 GeV Au-Au collisions [1]. These results can be understood in terms of a model [2], [3], that we proposed recently, based on the hydrodynamical model, and taking into account the effect of the final-state interactions (that occur in the hadronic phase) between the hyperons and other produced particles. These final...

    eRHIC is envisaged as a next-generation upgrade to the RHIC facility, involving the addition of a high-intensity, high-energy electron beam, to deliver a broad programme of both nuclear and spin physics. e+A collisions at eRHIC will answer open questions about the distribution and interactions of gluons within nuclei, something not possible with any existing machine. They will allow precise...
