Partonic effects on anisotropic flows at RHIC
نویسنده
چکیده
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

Partonic effects on higher-order anisotropic flows in relativistic heavy-ion collisions
Higher-order anisotropic flows v4 and v6 of charged hadrons in heavy-ion collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider are studied in a multiphase transport model that has previously been used successfully for describing the elliptic flow v2 of identified hadrons in these collisions. We find that the same parton scattering cross section of about 10 mb used in explaining the measured v2 of c...
متن کاملPartonic Effects in Heavy Ion Collisions at RHIC
Effects of partonic interactions in heavy ion collisions at RHIC are studied in a multiphase transport model (AMPT) that includes both initial partonic and final hadronic interactions. It is found that a large parton scattering cross section is needed to understand the measured elliptic flow of pions and two-pion correlation function.
متن کاملParton rearrangement and fast thermalization in heavy-ion collisions at RHIC and LHC energies
The implications of parton rearrangement processes on the dynamics of ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions have been investigated. A microscopic transport approach, namely the quark gluon string model (QGSM) which has been extended for a locally density-dependent partonic rearrangement and fusion procedure served as the tool for this investigations. The model emulates effectively the dynamic...
متن کاملWhat are the degrees of freedom in the partonic fluid at RHIC ?
Recent RHIC data show evidence of multiple hadron production mechanisms in heavy ion collisions compared to simple fragmentation in vacuum. I will review the measurements of collective flow, high momentum quenching, and two particle angular correlations to show that neither thermal production nor string fragmentation can describe the abundances, the angular distributions or the kinematic proper...
