چکیده

Based on the quark coalescence model for the parton-to-hadron phase transition in relativistic heavy ion collisions, we relate the elliptic flow (upsilon(2)) of high p(T) hadrons to that of high p(T) quarks. For high p(T) hadrons produced from an isospin-symmetric and quark-antiquark-symmetric partonic matter, magnitudes of their elliptic flows follow a flavor ordering as (upsilon(2,pi)=upsilon(2,N))>(upsilon(2,Lambda)=upsilon(2,Sigma))>upsilon(2,K)>upsilon(2,Xi)>(upsilon(2,phi)=upsilon(2,Omega)) if strange quarks have a smaller elliptic flow than light quarks. The elliptic flows of high p(T) hadrons further follow a simple quark counting rule if strange quarks and light quarks have the same high p(T) spectrum and coalescence probability.

Rapidity and system size dependence of anisotropic flows in relativistic heavy ion collisions

The azimuthal anisotropy of hadron transverse momentum distributions in heavy ion collisions at RHIC is sensitive to the properties of produced matter. In the framework of transport approach, it was shown in Ref.[ 1] using the ZPC model [ 2] that the value of the second harmonic, i.e., the elliptic flow, depends sensitively on the magnitude of parton scattering cross sections. With a more reali...

Elliptic flow of charm and strange hadrons in high-multiplicity pPb collisions at sNN = 8.16 TeV

First measurements of the elliptic flow of prompt D0 mesons in comparison to KS, Λ, Ξ−, and Ω− hadrons in pPb collisions at √ sNN = 8.16 TeV are reported. The results are based on data collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC and are presented for particles at midrapidity with transverse momentum up to 8 GeV/c after correcting for the contribution of back-to-back jet correlations. The results...

Probing the equation of state with pions

The influence of the isospin-independent, isospinand momentum-dependent equation of state (EoS), as well as the Coulomb interaction on the pion production in intermediate energy heavy ion collisions (HICs) is studied for both isospin-symmetric and neutron-rich systems. The Coulomb interaction plays an important role in the reaction dynamics, and strongly influences the rapidity and transverse m...

High Transverse Momentum Results from the STAR Collaboration

The STAR collaboration presents new measurements of high pT hadron production in Au+Au and p+p collisions at RHIC. We extend the previously reported suppression of inclusive hadrons and large azimuthal anisotropies to much higher transverse momentum, decisively establishing the existence of strong medium effects on hadron production well into the perturbative regime. Near-angle two-particle cor...

Investigating the scaling of higher-order flows in relativistic heavy-ion collisions

Relativistic heavy-ion collisions provide a useful way of studying the new phase which may exist at extreme high energy densities on earth. Collectivity is one of the main evidences of the produced dense matter, named as quarkgluon plasma (QGP), produced in relativistic heavy-ion collider (RHIC) [1–4]. Due to the almond shape of the produced QGP in non-central collisions, there are more freeze-...
