Relativistic Heavy-Ion collisions aim to create the Quark Gluon Plasma (QGP). The QGP is a state of matter with a high enough energy density that hadrons "melt", and quarks and gluons can move over length scales larger than that of a hadron. The Large Hadron Collider at CERN is able to collide heavy-ions at the highest energies achievable within the laboratory. I will review results from the...

The experiments at RHIC have produced convincing evidence during last decade that strongly interacting partonic matter, Quark Gluon Plasma (QGP) is created in the central collisions of heavy ions. The unique flexibility of RHIC to collide different nuclear species over wide range of collision energies together with STAR's wide acceptance and particle identification are ideally suited for...

The Compressed Baryonic Matter (CBM) experiment will be one of the major scientific pillars of the future Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR) in Darmstadt. The goal of the CBM research program is to explore the QCD phase diagram in the region of high baryon densities using high-energy nucleus-nucleus collisions. This includes the study of the equation-of-state of nuclear matter at...

According to many theoretical calculations vorticity plays a very important role in the dynamics of the heavy ion collisions. In this talk I am trying to summarize what is known and how we can learn more about vorticity from the experimental side
