Description

Collective QCD phenomena in collisions of nuclei, hadrons, and electrons are studied within the relativistic fluid dynamics approach from theoretical and phenomenological perspective. An emphasis is put on three main aspects: particle production at small transverse momenta, the colliding system size dependence, and longitudinal fluctuations which are sensitive to the fast system expansion. We will extend the existing theoretical approach based on solving fluid evolution equations with mode expansion and will use it to systematically analyse existing experimental data from the LHC, RHIC, SPS and HERA, as well as to explore the possibilities for future high luminosity experiments at the LHC.
