Photoproduction of ρ0 mesons in ultra-peripheral Pb+Pb collisions has been studied by the ALICE Collaboration at the CERN LHC. The strong photon flux associated with relativistic charged particles leads to a very large cross section for exclusive photoproduction of ρ0 meson in interactions of the type P b + P b → P b + P b + ρ0. For a ρ0 produced at mid-rapidity at the LHC, the photon-nucleus...

A Large Ion Collider Experiment (ALICE) is one of the 4 large experiments at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The primary purpose of ALICE is to study and characterize the Quark Gluon Plasma (QGP) formed in high-energy nuclear collisions. The capabilities of ALICE include excellent particle identification, wide rapidity coverage, precise vertexing and tracking in a high multiplicity...

In this talk (based on arXiv:1202.4551 [nucl-th]), I present a new derivation of dissipative relativistic fluid dynamics from the Boltzmann equation via the method of moments. In constrast to previous derivations, the single-particle distribution function is not subjected to a truncation in an uncontrolled way. Instead, it is expanded in terms of irreducible tensors in momentum-space and...
