چکیده
We report the first observations of the first harmonic (directed flow, v(1)) and the fourth harmonic (v(4)), in the azimuthal distribution of particles with respect to the reaction plane in Au+Au collisions at the BNL Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). Both measurements were done taking advantage of the large elliptic flow (v(2)) generated at RHIC. From the correlation of v(2) with v(1) it is determined that v(2) is positive, or in-plane. The integrated v(4) is about a factor of 10 smaller than v(2). For the sixth (v(6)) and eighth (v(8)) harmonics upper limits on the magnitudes are reported.

Heavy quarks at RHIC from parton transport theory
There are several indications that an opaque partonic medium is created in energetic Au+Au collisions ( √ sNN ∼ 100 GeV/nucleon) at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). At the extreme densities of ∼ 10 − 100 times normal nuclear density reached even heavy-flavor hadrons are affected significantly. Heavy-quark observables are presented from the parton transport model MPC, focusing on the ...
متن کاملPartonic effects on anisotropic flows at RHIC
We report recent results from a multiphase transport (AMPT) model on the azimuthal anisotropies of particle momentum distributions in heavy ion collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. These include higher-order anisotropic flows and their scaling, the rapidity dependence of anisotropic flows, and the elliptic flow of charm quarks. PACS numbers: 25.75.Ld, 24.10.Lx
متن کاملThe method for analysing jet azimuthal anisotropy in ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions
The azimuthal anisotropy of jet spectra due to energy loss of jet partons in azimuthally non-symmetric volume of dense quark-gluon matter is considered for semi-central nuclear interactions at collider energies. We develop the techniques for event-by-event analysing jet azimuthal anisotropy using particle and energy elliptic flow, and suggest the method for calculating coefficient of jet azimut...
متن کاملMomentum anisotropies in the quark coalescence model
Based on the quark coalescence model, we derive relations among the momentum anisotropies of mesons and baryons in relativistic heavy ion collisions from a given, but arbitrary azimuthal distribution for the partons. These relations allow us to estimate the higher-order anisotropies in the initial partonic matter from the measured hadronic anisotropies. Besides the familiar even Fourier coeffic...

متن کاملStrange quark collectivity of φ meson at RHIC
Based on AMPT model, the elliptic flow v2 of φ mesons which is reconstructed from KK at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) energy has been studied. The results show that reconstructed v2 of φmeson can keep the earlier information before φ decays and it seems to obey the number of constituent quark scaling as other mesons and baryons. This result indicates that the φ v2 mostly reflects t...
