Abstract

We present inclusive charged hadron elliptic flow (v{sub 2}) measured over the pseudorapidity range |{eta}|<0.35 in Au+Au collisions at {radical}(s{sub NN})=200 GeV. Results for v{sub 2} are presented over a broad range of transverse momentum (p{sub T}=0.2-8.0 GeV/c) and centrality (0-60%). To study nonflow effects that are correlations other than collective flow, as well as the fluctuations of v{sub 2}, we compare two different analysis methods: (1) the event-plane method from two independent subdetectors at forward (|{eta}|=3.1-3.9) and beam (|{eta}|>6.5) pseudorapidities and (2) the two-particle cumulant method extracted using correlations between particles detected at midrapidity. The two event-plane results are consistent within systematic uncertainties over the measured p{sub T} and in centrality 0-40%. There is at most a 20% difference in the v{sub 2} between the two event-plane methods in peripheral (40-60%) collisions. The comparisons between the two-particle cumulant results and the standard event-plane measurements are discussed.

Elliptic flow analysis in Au+Au collisions at {radical}(s{sub NN})=200 GeV: Fluctuations vs non-flow effects

Journal Article Xianglei, Zhu ; Institut fuer Theoretische Physik, Johann Wolfgang Goethe-Universitaet, Max-von-Laue-Strasse 1, D-60438 Frankfurt ; Physics Department, Tsinghua University, Beijing 100084 ; ... - Physical Review. C, Nuclear Physics

The cumulant method is applied to study elliptic flow (v{sub 2}) in Au+Au collisions at {radical}(s)=200A GeV, with the UrQMD model. In this approach, the true event plane is known and both the nonflow effects and event-by-event spatial ({epsilon}) and v{sub 2} fluctuations exist. Qualitatively, the hierarchy of v{sub 2}s from two-, four-, and six-particle cumulants is consistent with the STAR data; however, the magnitude of v{sub 2} in the UrQMD model is only 60% of the data. We find that the four- and six-particle cumulants are good measures of the real elliptic flow over a wide range of centralitiesmore »« less

Elliptic and Hexadecapole Flow of Charged Hadrons in Au+Au Collisions at {radical}(s{sub NN})=200 GeV

Journal Article Adare, A ; Bickley, A A ; Ellinghaus, F ; ... - Physical Review Letters

Differential measurements of the elliptic (v{sub 2}) and hexadecapole (v{sub 4}) Fourier flow coefficients are reported for charged hadrons as a function of transverse momentum (p{sub T}) and collision centrality or number of participant nucleons (N{sub part}) for Au+Au collisions at {radical}(s{sub NN})=200 GeV. The v{sub 2,4} measurements at pseudorapidity |{eta}|{<=}0.35, obtained with four separate reaction-plane detectors positioned in the range 1.0<|{eta}|<3.9, show good agreement, indicating the absence of significant {Delta}{eta}-dependent nonflow correlations. Sizable values for v{sub 4}(p{sub T}) are observed with a ratio v{sub 4}(p{sub T},N{sub part})/v{sub 2}{sup 2}(p{sub T},N{sub part}){approx_equal}0.8 for 50 < or approx. IN{sub part} <more »« less
