Elliptic flow of the hot, dense system which has been created in nucleus-nucleus collisions develops as a response to the initial azimuthal asymmetry of the reaction region. Here it is suggested that the magnitude of this response shows a ``kinky'' dependence on the centrality of collisions for which the system passes through a first-order or rapid transition between quark-gluon plasma and hadronic matter. We have studied the system Pb(158AGeV) on Pb employing a recent version of the transport theoretical approach RQMD and find the conjecture confirmed. The novel phase transition signature may be observable in present and forthcoming experiments at CERN-SPS and at RHIC, the BNL collider.

Phenomenology of baryon dynamics with directed flow in relativistic heavy-ion collisions
A two-component initial baryon deposition model plus hydrodynamics reproduces baryon-antibaryon directed flow splitting across sqrt(sNN) = 7.7 to 200 GeV and yields a model-based baryon diffusion coefficient.

Study of the hottest droplet of fluid through correlations and fluctuations of collective variables
The thesis uses event-by-event fluctuations and correlations of collective flow and mean transverse momentum to propose new probes of the initial state, explain the ATLAS [pT]-variance fall, and constrain nuclear deformation.
