New (preliminary) results for the form factors relevant for the semileptonic decays of heavy pseudoscalar to a light vector meson are presented. In particular, we discuss the form factors for D → K * and B → ρ modes.

The effects of shape of the freeze-out hypersurface and resonance decays on the pion correlation functions in relativistic heavy-ion collisions are studied with help of the hydro-inspired models with single freeze-out. The heavy-ion Monte-Carlo generator THERMINATOR is used to generate hadronic events describing production of particles from a thermalized and expanding source. We find that the s...

The PHENIX detector at RHIC measured high p T identified hadron ratios in √ s N N = 200 GeV Au+Au collisions. Within the current systematic and statistical errors, p/p ratios that are measured up to 3.8 GeV/c are almost independent of both p T and centrality. The baryon to meson ratio is measured through p/π and p/π ratios up to 3.8 GeV/c, showing they are strongly centrality dependent.

We present the directed flow measurement (v 1) from Au+Au collisions at √ s NN = 62 GeV. Over the pseudorapidity range we have studied, which covers η from −1.2 to 1.2 and 2.4 < |η| < 4, v 1 is found increasing monotonously with pseudorapidity in all centralities. No " v 1 wiggle " is observed at midrapidity as predicted by various theoretical models. Elliptic flow (v 2) from moderate high p t ...
