Scaling Properties of Azimuthal Anisotropy inAu+AuandCu+CuCollisions atsNN=200 GeV

Scaling properties of azimuthal anisotropy of mesons and baryons at RHIC

Detailed measurements of the azimuthal anisotropy (2̌) for identified charged particles are reported as a function of transverse momentum (pT ) and centrality for Au+Au collisions at √ sNN =200 GeV. The measurements indicate clear evidence for eccentricity and particle flavor scaling over a broad range of centralities and transverse rapidity yT , indicating a hydrodynamical origin of the fine st...

Azimuthal anisotropy in Au plus Au collisions at root S-NN=200 GeV

Image-guided WEMVA for azimuthal anisotropy

Azimuthal anisotropy is common in layered basins with strong folding and fracturing effects. Traditional processing on individual azimuths usually yields images with inconsistent depths. In this paper, we propose to use an image obtained from one azimuth to constrain the image-space velocity analysis on other azimuths. This method directly tackles the differences in anisotropic parameters among...

Global azimuthal anisotropy in the transition zone.

Surface wave dispersion measurements for Love wave overtones carry evidence of azimuthal anisotropy in the transition zone of Earth's mantle (400 to 660 kilometers deep). A Backus-Gilbert inversion of anisotropic phase velocity maps, with resolution kernels mainly sensitive to the transition zone, shows a robust long-wavelength azimuthally anisotropic velocity structure. This observation puts n...

Variable azimuthal anisotropy in Earth's lowermost mantle.

A persistent reversal in the expected polarity of the initiation of vertically polarized shear waves that graze the D'' layer (the layer at the boundary between the outer core and the lower mantle of Earth) in some regions starts at the arrival time of horizontally polarized shear waves. Full waveform modeling of the split shear waves for paths beneath the Caribbean requires azimuthal anisotrop...
