Using the isospin dependent quantum molecular dynamics model, we study the effect of charge asymmetry and isospin dependent cross-section on different aspects of elliptical flow. Simulations have been carried out for the reactions of $^{124}X_{m}+^{124}X_{m}$, where m = (47, 50, 53, 57 and 59) and $^{40}X_{n}+^{40}X_{n}$, where n= (14, 16, 18, 21 and 23). Our study shows that elliptical flow depend strongly on the isospin of cross-section. The transition energy remains almost constant with increase in N/Z of the system. A good agreement is obtained with experimental measurements.
Light but massive cosmological neutrinos do not cluster significantly on small scales, due to their high thermal velocities. With finite masses, cosmological neutrinos become part of the total matter field and contribute to its smoothing. Structure formation in the presence of massive neutrinos is therefore impeded compared to that in the standard $Lambda$CDM cosmology with massless neutrinos. Neutrinos masses also distort the anisotropy power spectrum of cosmic microwave background (CMB). Furthermore, a finite chemical potential $mu$ for cosmological neutrinos, still allowed by current data, would have a non-negligible impact on CMB and structure formation. We consistently evaluate effects of neutrino masses and chemical potentials on the matter power spectrum by use of a neutrino-involved N-body simulation, with cosmological parameters obtained from a Markov-Chian Moonte-Carlo (MCMC) refitting of CMB data. Our results show that while a finite averaged neutrino mass $m_ u$ tends to suppress the matter power spectrum in a range of wave numbers, the neutrino degeneracy parameters ${xi_i equiv mu_i /T}$ ($i=$1, 2, 3) enhance the latter, leading to a large parameter degeneracy between $m_ u$ and $xi_i$. We provide an empirical formula for the effects on the matter power spectrum in a selected range of wave numbers induced by $m_ u$ and $eta equiv sqrt{sum_i xi^2_i}$. Observing a strong correlation between $m_ u$ and $eta$, we propose a single redshift-independent parameter $m_ u - frac{4}{3}eta^2$ to characterize the neutrino effects on the matter power spectrum.
We study effects of eccentricity fluctuations on the elliptic flow coefficient v_2 at mid-rapidity in both Au+Au and Cu+Cu collisions at sqrt{s_NN}=200 GeV by using a hybrid model that combines ideal hydrodynamics for space-time evolution of the quark gluon plasma phase and a hadronic transport model for the hadronic matter. For initial conditions in hydrodynamic simulations, both the Glauber model and the color glass condensate model are employed to demonstrate the effect of initial eccentricity fluctuations originating from the nucleon position inside a colliding nucleus. The effect of eccentricity fluctuations is modest in semicentral Au+Au collisions, but significantly enhances v_2 in Cu+Cu collisions.
The cumulant method is applied to study elliptic flow ($v_2$) in Au+Au collisions at $sqrt{s}=200$AGeV, with the UrQMD model. In this approach, the true event plane is known and both the non-flow effects and event-by-event spatial ($epsilon$) and $v_2$ fluctuations exist. Qualitatively, the hierarchy of $v_2$s from two, four and six-particle cumulants is consistent with the STAR data, however, the magnitude of $v_2$ in the UrQMD model is only 60% of the data. We find that the four and six-particle cumulants are good measures of the real elliptic flow over a wide range of centralities except for the most central and very peripheral events. There the cumulant method is affected by the $v_2$ fluctuations. In mid-central collisions, the four and six-particle cumulants are shown to give a good estimation of the true differential $v_2$, especially at large transverse momentum, where the two-particle cumulant method is heavily affected by the non-flow effects.
