Heavy quarks are produced through initial hard scatterings and they are affected by the hot and dense medium created in heavy-ion collisions throughout its whole evolution. Due to their heavy mass, charm quarks are expected to thermalize much more slowly than light flavor quarks. As a result, the charm quark flow is a unique tool to study the extent of thermalization of the bulk medium...

The Beam Energy Scan (BES) program at the Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider aims to study the QCD phase diagram in regions where net baryon density is large, a region where a critical point may exist. Possible signatures of a softening of the QCD equation of state have been reported at BES energies, and directed flow (rapidity-odd $v_1(y)$) is one of the more striking examples in this category....

The high abundance of (anti-)deuterons in the statistics gathered in run 1 of the LHC and the excellent performance of the ALICE setup allow for the simultaneous measurement of the elliptic flow and the deuteron production rates with a large transverse momentum ($p_{\rm T}$) reach. The (anti-) deuterons are identified using the specific energy loss in the time projection chamber and the...

Event shape engineering (ESE) is a differential technique, which involves selecting events based on their anisotropic flow, and studying other observables with respect to the magnitude of that flow [1]. These studies have been pursued by the ALICE, ATLAS, and PHENIX collaborations, and promise to open up a new paradigm in the era of high statistics heavy-ion data. We will show the latest...
