Observed dependence of flow symmetry plane in ultra-relativistic heavy ion collisions on transverse momentum ($p_T$) and pseudorapidity $\eta$ is attributed to lumpy hot-spots raised by the event-by-event fluctuations of the initial states. Studying different orthogonal modes of the same flow harmonic has been suggested as a promising way to explore this phenomena. Prediction of leading and...
Themal shifts and fluctuations at finite temperature below the deconfinement crossover from hadronic matter to the quark-gluon plasma provide a viable way to look for missing states with given quantum number in the hadronic spectrum. We study a realization of the hadron resonance gas (HRG) model in the light quark (uds) flavour sector of QCD to study the fluctuations of baryon number, charge...
I will review the use of hydrodynamics to model heavy-ion collisions at ultrarelativistic energies, and what such modeling has taught us about the properties of QCD matter.
