Relativistic heavy-ion collisions suggest that low momentum regions of the observed particle spectra are thermal and hydrodynamic, while medium-high momentum regions are non-thermal and perturbative. In this study, I construct a hydrodynamic model of heavy-ion collisions by cutting off the medium-high momentum contributions and investigate the phenomenological consequences. Numerical simulations indicate that the temperature of the quark matter can be higher at earlier times owing to the modification of the equation of state. It is also suggested that direct photon elliptic flow can be sensitive to the momentum dependence of thermalization.

Using the blast-wave model, we explore the effect of electric fields on spectra and flow harmonics (especially the elliptic flow) for charged Pions and protons. We incorporate the first-order correction to the single-particle distribution function due to the electric fields and the dissipative effect while calculating the invariant yields of hadron in the Cooper-Frey prescription at the freezeout hypersurface. We find a noticeable correction to the directed and elliptic flow of Pions and protons for unidirectional and azimuthal asymmetric electric fields in the transverse plane of magnitude ∼ mπ2. Further, we observe mass dependency of the directed flow generated due to the electric fields. The splitting of particle and antiparticle’s elliptic flow is also discussed.

Searches are being carried out at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) for the decay of the CP-odd scalar ($A^0$) in Two-Higgs-Doublet Models (2HDMs) with Natural Flavour Conservation (NFC) in the channel $A^0to h^0 Z$ (with $m_{h^0}=125$ GeV and $Z$ on-shell). In the absence of any signal, limits on the parameter space of $[tanbeta, cos(beta-alpha), m_{A^0}]$ in each 2HDM are derived for $m_{A^0} > 225$ GeV. In this work we consider the scenario of inverted hierarchy with $m_{h^0}<125$ GeV and $m_{H^0}=125$ GeV in which the decay $A^0to h^0 Z^{(*)}$ (i.e. including the case of an off-shell $Z$) can have a large branching ratio in the 2HDM (Type I) for $m_{A^0}<225$ GeV. We calculate the signal cross section $sigma(ggto A^0)times {rm BR}(A^0to h^0Z^{(*)})times {rm BR}(h^0to boverline b)$ in the 2HDM (Type I) with NFC and compare its magnitude with the cross section for the case of normal hierarchy ($m_{h^0}=125$ GeV) that is currently being searched for at the LHC. For the experimentally unexplored region $m_{A^0} < 225$ GeV it is shown that the above cross section for signal events in the scenario of inverted hierarchy can be of the order of a few picobarns. Such sizeable cross sections are several orders of magnitude larger than the cross sections for the case of normal hierarchy, thus motivating an extension of the ongoing searches for $A^0to h^0 Z^{(*)}$ to probe the scenario of inverted hierarchy.
