Eccentricity fluctuations in an integrated hybrid approach: Influence on elliptic flow

Petersen, Hannah (AMER PHYSICAL SOC, 2010)

The effects of initial state fluctuations on elliptic flow are investigated within a (3 + 1)-dimensional Boltzmann + hydrodynamics transport approach. The spatial eccentricity (epsilon(RP) and epsilon(part)) is calculated ...
Electric charge separation in strong transient magnetic fields

Mueller, Berndt (AMER PHYSICAL SOC, 2010)

We discuss various mechanisms for the creation of an asymmetric charge fluctuation with respect to the reaction plane among hadrons emitted in relativistic heavy-ion collisions. We show that such mechanisms exist in both ...
