Klaus Werner (Univ Nantes)18/07/2013, 09:48Ultrarelativistic Heavy IonsTalk presentationThere is little doubt that flow has been observed in heavy ion collisions at the LHC and RHIC, mainly based on results on azimuthal anisotropies, but also on particle spectra of identified particles, perfectly compatible with hydrodynamic expansions. Surprisingly, in pPb collisions one observes a quite similar behavior. So do we observe hydrodynamic dynamics as well in pPb? We will try to...Go to contribution page
