Hydro and Jets in Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collisions

Abstract

We apply HYDJET++ model, which contains the treatment of both soft and hard processes, to study the heavy-ion collisions at LHC energies. The interplay of parametrised hydrodynamics and jets describes many features of the development of particle anisotropic flow including the break-up of mass hierarchy of elliptic and triangular flow, the falloff of the flow at certain transverse momentum and violation of the number-ofconstituent- quark (NCQ) scaling at LHC energies compared to the lower ones. Other signals, such as long-range dihadron correlations (ridge) and event-by-event (EbyE) fluctuations of the flow are also discussed. Model calculations demonstrate a good agreement with the available experimental data.
