We present a systematic study of the effects due to initial condition fluctuations in systems formed by heavy-ion collisions using the hydrodynamical simulation code NeXSPheRIO. The study was based on a sample of events generated simulating Au+Au collisions at center of mass energy of 200 GeV per nucleon pair with impact parameter ranging from most central to peripheral collisions. The capability of the NeXSPheRIO code to control and save the initial condition (IC) as well as the final state particles after the 3D hydrodynamical evolution allows for the investigation of the sensitivity of the experimental observables to the characteristics of the early IC. Comparisons of results from simulated events generated using fluctuating initial conditions and smooth initial condition are presented for the experimental observable elliptic flow parameter ($v_2$) as a function of the transverse momentum, $p_t$, and centrality. We compare $v_2$ values estimated using different methods, and how each method responds to effects of fluctuations in the initial condition. Finally, we quantify the flow fluctuations and compare to the fluctuations of the initial eccentricity of the energy density distribution in the transverse plane.

We show that the large corrections due to final state interactions (FSI) in the D^+to pi^-pi^+pi^+, D^+_sto pi^-pi^+pi^+, and D^+to K^-pi^+pi^+ decays can be accounted for by invoking scattering amplitudes in agreement with those derived from phase s hifts studies. In this way, broad/overlapping resonances in S-waves are properly treated and the phase motions of the transition amplitudes are driven by the corresponding scattering matrix elements determined in many other experiments. This is an important step forward in resolving the puzzle of the FSI in these decays. We also discuss why the sigma and kappa resonances, hardly visible in scattering experiments, are much more prominent and clearly visible in these decays without destroying the agreement with the experimental pipi and Kpi low energy S-wave phase shifts.
A detailed reanalysis of the single gluon emission rate at next-to-leading twist is carried out. As was the case in prior efforts, the problem is cast in the framework of deep-inelastic scattering (DIS) of an electron off a large nucleus. The quark p roduced in the interaction propagates through the remaining nucleus and engenders scattering and gluon radiation, which is calculated in the limit of one re-scattering. This medium induced single gluon emission rate forms the basis of several energy loss calculations in both DIS and heavy-ion collisions. Unlike prior efforts, a complete transverse momentum gradient expansion of the hadronic tensor, including $N_c$ suppressed terms, phase terms and finite gluon momentum fraction terms, ignored previously, is carried out. These terms turn out to be surprisingly large. In contrast to prior efforts, the full next-to-leading twist gluon emission kernel is found to be positive definite and slowly increasing with the exchanged transverse momentum. Phenomenological consequences of these new contributions are discussed.
The uncertainty in the determination of the Z line-shape parameters coming from the precision of the calculation of the Initial-State Radiation and Initial--Final-State Interference is 2 10**(-4) for the total cross section sigma zero(had) at the Z p eak, 0.15 MeV for the Z mass M Z, and 0.1 MeV for the Z width Gamma Z. Corrections to Initial--Final-State Interference beyond Order{alpha^1} are discussed.
It was argued in arXiv:1805.09342 and arXiv:1807.00825 that the systematics of the azimuthal anisotropy coefficients $v_{2,3}$ measured in ultrarelativistic light-heavy ion collisions at RHIC and the LHC can be described in an initial state dilute-de nse Color Glass Condensate (CGC) framework. We elaborate here on the discussion in these papers and provide further novel results that strengthen their conclusions. The underlying mathematical framework and numerical techniques employed are very similar to those in the CGC based IP-Glasma model used previously as initial conditions for heavy-ion collisions. The uncertainties in theory/data comparisons for small systems are discussed, with unknowns that are specific to the model distinguished from those that are generic to all models. We present analytical arguments that demonstrate that quantum interference effects such as Bose enhancement and Hanbury-Brown-Twiss correlations of gluons, as well as coherent multiple scattering of gluons in the projectile off color domains in the target, are enhanced in rare events. The quantum origins of the large anisotropies in small systems are corroborated by numerical results for deuteron-gold collisions that show that large anisotropies in rare configurations can occur when the nucleons in the projectile overlap significantly. This is at variance with the classical intuition of hydrodynamical models. We also comment on the consequences of ignoring the many-body color charge correlations of gluons in models that only consider geometrical fluctuations in the energy density.

We consider the thermal production of dileptons and photons at temperatures above the critical temperature in QCD. We use a model where color excitations are suppressed by a small value of the Polyakov loop, the semi Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP). Compari ng the semi-QGP to the perturbative QGP, we find a mild enhancement of thermal dileptons. In contrast, to leading logarithmic order in weak coupling there are far fewer hard photons from the semi-QGP than the usual QGP. To illustrate the possible effects on photon and dileptons production in heavy ion collisions, we integrate the rate with a realistic hydrodynamic simulation. Dileptons uniformly exhibit a small flow, but the strong suppression of photons in the semi-QGP tends to bias the elliptical flow of photons to that generated in the hadronic phase.
