Energy dependence of the v2-scaling and the QCD phase boundary
In high-energy nuclear collisions at RHIC ( = 60–200 GeV), quark coalescence has been suggested as one of the processes for hadronization. As a result, one observes a scaling in the elliptic flow parameter v2 and hadron-type dependence (within the 2 < pT < 5 GeV/c region) in the nuclear modification parameter RAA. On the other hand, in a given collision when the center of mass energy is not sufficiently high to create partonic matter, one would not expect the scaling in the final observed v2. Hence, the scaling provides us a sensitive tool for the search for the possible phase boundary in the hot/dense matter dominated by either partonic or hadronic degrees of freedom. In this paper, we will report the results from analyzing the energy dependence of v2 for identified hadrons from Au+Au collisions. Data from transport models are used in our analysis. In this model calculation, without the partonic coalescence the scaling in v2 is absent.

On transverse momentum event–by–event fluctuations in string hadronic models
Abstract. Transverse momentum event–by–event fluctuations are studied within the string–hadronic model of high energy nuclear collisions, LUCIAE. Data on non–statistical $p_T$ fluctuations in p+p interactions are reproduced. Fluctuations of similar magnitude are predicted for nucleus–nucleus collisions, in contradiction to the preliminary NA49 results. The introduction of a string clustering mechanism (Firecracker Model) leads to a further, significant increase of $p_T$ fluctuations for nucleus–nucleus collisions. Secondary hadronic interactions, as implemented in LUCIAE, cause only a small reduction of $p_T$ fluctuations.

New results for hadronic collisions in the framework of the Parton-Based Gribov-Regge Theory
Abstract We recently proposed a new approach to high energy nuclear scattering, which treats hadronic collisions in a sophisticated way. Demanding theoretical consistency as a minimal requirement for a realistic model, we provide a solution for the energy conservation, screening problems and identical elementary interactions, the so-called “Parton-Based Gribov-Regge Theory” including enhanced diagrams. We can now present some of our results for SPS and RHIC energies.

Elliptic flow in a hadron transport model
We present elliptic flow v2 as a function of freeze-out time, transverse momentum for π, K, nucleon, Λ, Ξ and Ω in Au+Au collisions at within two transport approaches (RQMD and UrQMD). The presence of mass ordering and NCQ scaling in the string-hadron model suggests that hadronic interactions do contribute to the observed particle-type dependence of v2 as well.

Thermal Equilibration and Ellipsoidal Expansion of Rotationally-Symmetrical Longitudinal Flow in Relativistc Heavy Ion Collisions
A rotationally-symmetrical ellipsoidal flow model is proposed for the relativistic heavy-ion collisions and compared with the 14.6 A GeV/c Si-Al and 10.8 A GeV/c Au-Au collision data. The large stopping in the heavier collision system and heavier produced particles is accounted for by using the ellipsoidal flow picture. The central dip in the proton and deuteron rapidity distributions for Si-Al collision are reproduced.

Dependence of elliptic flow on transverse momentum in $\sqrt{\mathrm{\it s_{NN}}}=200$ GeV Au-Au and $\sqrt{\mathrm{\it s_{NN}=2.76$ TeV Pb-Pb collisions
We investigate the dependence of elliptic flows $v_2$ on transverse momentum $P_T$ for charged hadrons produced in nucleus-nucleus collisions at high energy by using a multi-source ideal gas model which includes the interaction contribution of the emission sources. Our calculated results are approximately in agreement with the experimental data over a wider $P_T$ range from the STAR and ALICE Collaborations. It is found that the expansion factor increases linearly with the impact parameter from most central (0-5%) to mid-peripheral (35-40%) collisions.

Transverse momentum dependence of charged and strange hadron elliptic flows in Cu?Cu collisions
We investigate the dependence of elliptic flows v2 on transverse momentum PT for charged and strange hadrons produced in Cu?Cu collisions by using a multi-source thermal model, which includes the interaction contribution of the emission sources. The magnitude of the expansion is denoted by a expansion factor k. Our calculated results are approximately in agreement with the experimental data in Cu?Cu collisions at = 62.4 and 200 GeV, measured by the STAR Collaboration. It is found that the expansion factor increases linearly with the impact parameter from the most central (0?10%) to mid-peripheral (40?50%) collisions.

On Current Conversion between Particle Rapidity and Pseudorapidity Distributions in High Energy Collisions
In high energy collisions, one usually needs to give a conversion between the particle rapidity and pseudorapidity distributions. Currently, two equivalent conversion formulas are used in experimental and theoretical analyses. An investigation in the present work shows that the two conversions are incomplete. Then, we give a revision on the current conversion between the particle rapidity and pseudorapidity distributions.

Multiple particle production in proton-proton collisions at energies available at the Large Hadron Collider
A shift three-source model is used in this paper to describe the multiplicity and the pseudorapidity distributions of final-state charged particles produced in proton-proton collisions at energies available at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The three kinds of sources are central sources arising from gluon-gluon collisions, target fragmentation sources arising from gluon- or quark-induced collisions with target quarks, and projectile fragmentation sources arising from gluon- or quark-induced collisions with projectile quarks. The central, target fragmentation, and projectile fragmentation sources each have shifts around their centers. The results calculated by using the shift three-source model are in agreement with the experimental data of the ALICE (A Large Ion Collider Experiment) and the CMS (Compact Muon Solenoid experiment) Collaborations.
