Recent measurements of event-by-event elliptic flow in Au+Au collisions at S_(NN)^(1/2)=200GeV exhibit large relative fluctuations of about 40%—50%.The data are well described by fluctuations in the shape of the init...
We present various predictions for the anisotropic collective flow of particles in heavy-ion collisions, in particular scaling laws of the second and fourth harmonics v_2 and v_4,derived within ideal fluid dynamics. W...

2D position sensitive, single-sided Si stripixel detector was selected as the one of the two main components of the Si vertex tracker (Si SVX) in the upgraded PHENIX detector at RHIC (relativistic heavy ion collider) ...
