Azimuthal anisotropy in Au+Au collisions atsNN=200GeV

Abstract: The results from the STAR Collaboration on directed flow (v 1 ), elliptic flow (v 2 ), and the fourth harmonic (v 4 ) in the anisotropic azimuthal distribution of particles from Au+Au collisions at √ s NN = 200 GeV are summarized and compared with results from other experiments and theoretical models. Results for identified particles are presented and fit with a blast-wave model. Different anisotropic flow analysis methods are compared and nonflow effects are extracted from the data. For v 2 , scaling with the… Show more

“…In case the v 2 distribution is a 2D Gaussian in the reaction plane, the six-particle cumulant v 2 {6} and higher orders will be equal to v 2 {4} and therefore will add no new information. This has been found to be the case (i.e., v 2 {6} ≈ v 2 {4}) to within 3% for previous data sets [18] and to within less than 2% for the Au + Au data sets used in this analysis. In this approximation for the v 2 fluctuations [17], v 2 {4} is equal to the mean v 2 relative to the reaction plane and v…”

“…Thus it is difficult to make an accurate estimate of nonflow contributions. The fact that at high p T (p T > 5 GeV/c) the p + p results are very close to central Au + Au [40,43] suggests that the uncertainties are relatively small. In the following we estimate the systematic uncertainties arising from nonflow contributions.…”

“…12, v 2 [49] and v 3 obtained with the TPC subevent plane method are compared as a function of transverse momentum with several models for 0%-5%, 20%-30%, and 30%-40% central collisions. The experimental results for the TPC subevent plane method are shown because they eliminate the short-range correlations but yet have a small | η| like the theory calculations.…”
