The measurement of the elliptic flow for charged particles in Pb+Pb collisions at sqrt(s_NN)=2.76 TeV with the ATLAS detector will be presented in a wide range of pseudorapidity, transverse momentum and collision centrality. The elliptic flow is measured by correlating azimuthal angles of reconstructed particle tracks with the event plane angle obtained from forward calorimeters. A large...

We develop a framework for event-by-event ideal hydrodynamics to study the differential elliptic flow which is measured at different centralities in Au+Au collisions at Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). Fluctuating initial energy density profiles, which here are the event-by-event analogues of the eWN profiles, are created using a Monte Carlo Glauber model. Using the same event plane...

Separation of charges along the extreme magnetic field created in non-central relativistic heavy-ion collisions is predicted to be a signature of local parity violation in strong interactions. We report on results for charge dependent two particle azimuthal correlations with respect to the reaction plane for Pb-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}} = 2.76$~TeV recorded in 2010 with ALICE at the LHC....

Parity-odd domains from QCD are predicted to cause charge separation of quarks across the reaction-plane created in non-central relativistic heavy ion collisions--The Chiral Magnetic Effect [1]. Here we present several measurements to search for charge separation across the reaction-plane at STAR. We use three different observables: a three point correlator, a multiplicity asymmetry...

Azimuthal anisotropic flow is a key observable indicating collectivity among particles produced in non-central heavy ion collisions. Directed flow is characterized by the first harmonic coefficient in the Fourier decomposition of the particle azimuthal distribution with respect to the collision reaction plane. It develops at a very early stage of the collision and thus is sensitive to the...

The heavy ion program at LHC opened up a new era in the physics of the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) at higher energies. One of the most unique properties of the hot matter is the near-perfect fluidity, which was first discovered in Au-Au collisions at RHIC [1]. Relativistic hydrodynamic analyses on the momentum anisotropy of transverse collective flow revealed that small viscosity in the QGP is...
