Radial and elliptic flow at RHIC: further predictions

Thermalization and Elliptic Flow at Rhic

We discuss signatures of thermalisation in heavy ion collisions based on elliptic flow. We then propose a new method to analyse elliptic flow, based on multiparticle azimuthal correlations. This method allows one to test quantitatively the collective behaviour of the interacting system.

Elliptic flow of φmeson and strange quark collectivity at RHIC

Based on AMulti-Phase Transport model, the elliptic flow v2 of φmeson which is reconstructed from K+K− at top relativistic heavy ion collider (RHIC) energy at Brokehaven National Laboratory (BNL) has been studied. The dependences of the transverse momentum pT and of the centrality have been presented and the rescattering effect of φ in the hadronic phase has been also investigated. The results ...

Universal scaling of the elliptic flow at RHIC

Recent PHOBOS measurements of the excitation function for the pseudo-rapidity dependence of elliptic flow in Au+Au collisions at RHIC, have posed a significant theoretical challenge. We show here that these data are described by the Buda-Lund model. A universal scaling curve, predicted by the Buda-Lund hydro model, describes not only PHOBOS data, but also recent, detailed PHENIX and STAR ellipt...

Predictions of Elliptic flow and nuclear modification factor from 200 GeV U + U collisions at RHIC Hiroshi

Predictions of elliptic flow (v2) and nuclear modification factor (RAA) are provided as a function of centrality in U + U collisions at √ s NN = 200 GeV. Since the U nucleus is naturally deformed, one could adjust the properties of the fireball, density and duration of the hot and dense system, for example, in high energy nuclear collisions by carefully selecting the colliding geometry. Within ...
