Abstract: (APS)
The PHENIX experiment reports systematic measurements at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider of -meson production in asymmetric collisions at and in collisions at . Measurements were performed via the decay channel at midrapidity . Features of -meson production measured in , and collisions were found to not depend on the collision geometry, which was expected because the yields are averaged over the azimuthal angle and follow the expected scaling with nuclear-overlap size. The elliptic flow of the meson in , and collisions scales with second-order-participant eccentricity and the length scale of the nuclear-overlap region (estimated with the number of participating nucleons). At moderate -meson production measured in and collisions is consistent with coalescence-model predictions, whereas at high the production is in agreement with expectations for in-medium energy loss of parent partons prior to their fragmentation. The elliptic flow for mesons measured in and collisions is well described by a ()-dimensional viscous-hydrodynamic model with specific-shear viscosity .Note:
