Recently, we proposed a thermodynamically consistent excluded-volume model for a hot, dense hadron gas (HG). We confront our model calculations on various properties of HG, multiplicity and ratios of various strange and non-strange particles in the entire range of temperature and baryon densities with the other models and experimental data and we find that our model describes the experimental...

It is well-known that a nonzero initial spatial eccentricity in a heavy-ion collision is reflected in the final anisotropic flow of the bulk medium. Jets traversing a spatially anisotropic medium also develop momentum anisotropy (at fixed pT) through path length dependence of energy loss. For smooth initial conditions, bulk and jet flow anisotropy coefficients are naturally related. However,...

Appropriate combinations of up to fourth order cumulants of net strangeness fluctuations and their correlations with net baryon number and electric charge fluctuations, obtained from ab-initio Lattice QCD calculations, have been used to probe the strangeness carrying degrees of freedom at high temperatures. For temperatures up to the chiral crossover separate contributions of strange mesons...

14. Systematic Properties of the Tsallis Distribution: Energy Dependence of Parameters

Changes in the transverse momentum distributions with beam energy are studied using the Tsallis distribution as a parameterization. The dependence of the Tsallis parameters q, T and the volume are determined as a function of beam energy. The Tsallis parameter q shows a weak but clear increase with beam energy with the highest value being approximately 1.15. The Tsallis temperature...

A current goal of relativistic heavy ion collisions experiments is the search for a Color Glass Condensate as the limiting state of QCD matter at very high density. In viscous hydrodynamics simulations, a standard Glauber initial condition leads to estimate $4\pi \eta/s \sim 1$, while a Color Glass Condensate modeling leads to at least a factor of 2 larger $\eta/s$. Within a kinetic theory...
