Title: A "Little Bang" arrives at the LHC and is seen by ALICE
Abstract:
I will discuss what we have learned about the properties of the quark gluon plasma from the first elliptic flow measurements at the LHC. In this talk I will explain why measurements of the azimuthal anisotropy in particle production provide strong constraints on the properties of the quark gluon plasma and how this azimuthal anisotropy experimentally can be measured and related to the initial geometry of the collision.
