Within the framework of the coalescence model based on the phase-space distributions of protons and neutrons generated from the iebe-vishnu hybrid model with ampt initial conditions, we study the spectra and elliptic flow of deuterons and helium-3 in relativistic heavy ion collisions at the BNL Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) and the CERN Larger Hadron Collider (LHC). Results from our model calculations for Au+Au collisions at √sNN = 200 GeV at RHIC and Pb+Pb collisions at √sNN = 2.76 TeV at the LHC are compared with available experimental data. Good agreements are generally seen between theoretical results and experimental data, except that the calculated yield of helium-3 in Pb+Pb collisions at √sNN = 2.76 TeV underestimates the data by about a factor of 2. Possible reasons for these discrepancies are discussed. Here, we also make predictions on the spectra and elliptic flow of deuterons and helium-3 in Pb+Pb collisions at √sNN = 5.02 TeV that are being studied at LHC.
