Abstract: (Springer)
The elliptic (v), triangular (v), and quadrangular (v) flow coefficients of π, K, , and the ϕ-meson are measured in Pb-Pb collisions at TeV. Results obtained with the scalar product method are reported for the rapidity range |y| < 0.5 as a function of transverse momentum, p, at different collision centrality intervals between 0–70%, including ultra-central (0–1%) collisions for π, K, and . For p < 3 GeV/c, the flow coefficients exhibit a particle mass dependence. At intermediate transverse momenta (3 < p < 8–10 GeV/c), particles show an approximate grouping according to their type (i.e., mesons and baryons). The ϕ-meson v, which tests both particle mass dependence and type scaling, follows v at low p and π v at intermediate p. The evolution of the shape of v(p) as a function of centrality and harmonic number n is studied for the various particle species. Flow coefficients of π, K, and for p < 3 GeV/c are compared to iEBE-VISHNU and MUSIC hydrodynamical calculations coupled to a hadronic cascade model (UrQMD). The iEBE-VISHNU calculations describe the results fairly well for p < 2.5 GeV/c, while MUSIC calculations reproduce the measurements for p < 1 GeV/c. A comparison to v coefficients measured in Pb-Pb collisions at TeV is also provided.Note:
