Facets of the QCD Phase-Diagram

Abstract

In this contribution we will discuss two aspects of the matter created in ultra-relativistic heavy ion collisions. First we will attempt to define a universal measure for the fluidity of a substance, which will allow a correct comparison between the fluidity of a Quark Gluon Plasma and any well known substance. Second we will discuss current measurements of particle correlations and their implication for possible local parity violation.
