Description
I will review the anisotropic flow and azimuthally sensitive HBT results at RHIC. Anisotropic flow measurements at RHIC have shown to be an important tool for understanding the bulk properties of the system created in ultra relativistic heavy-ion collisions.
It is argued that at low-pt these measurements provide insight in the 'hydrodynamic' nature of the source, while at intermediate to high-pt details of the hadronization and energy loss mechanism are probed.
With the reaction plane known from the large elliptic flow at RHIC, other observables like HBT can now also be studied in unprecedented detail. Combining the azimuthally sensitive HBT measurements with
the observed anisotropic flow provides strong constrains on the evolution of the created system.
