Differential elliptic flow and particle spectra are calculated taking into account the finite transport opacity of the gluon plasma produced in Au + Au at E cm ∼ 130 A GeV at RHIC. Covariant numerical solutions of the ultrarelativistic Boltzmann equation are obtained using the MPC parton cascade tec

Experimental evidences at RHIC, for a strongly-interacting quark gluon plasma (sQGP), are reviewed. We discuss three related phenomena, elliptic flow, jet quenching and medium responses, that have provided much of the evidences. We examine current constraints on the transport properties of sQGP from
It is shown that, as in the case of lean limits of flammability, rich limits are also considerably extended by plasma jet ignition. Soot formation is greatly reduced and flame propagation velocity increased when plasmas in certain media are used lor the initiation of flames. The most effective media
