My graduate analysis of two physics topics will be presented. The first will pertain to parity violation of the strong interactions which is predicted to occur in heavy-ion collisions and is shown to leave its signature in ⟨ Sin(φ-ψ_RP) ⟩. The second will pertain to bulk-collectivity and de-confinement which is known to leave its signature in elliptic flow: Cos2(φ-ψ_RP).
