报告简介: 
I will present what we recently found (arXiv:1502.05572) about azimuthal anisotropy in high energy nuclear collisions in parton transport models. Azimuthal anisotropy has been long thought as a result of hydrodynamic expansion of these collisions and a quark-gluon plasma signal. Our findings suggest that the collision system is far less opaque than hydrodynamics require and the anisotropy is simply a result of geometry escape. If true, our findings might implode the very foundation of the current paradigm of strongly interacting perfect fluid and force us back to the scratch board.
