Abstract

We developed a deep learning feed-forward network for estimating elliptic flow (v2v_2) coefficients in heavy-ion collisions from RHIC to LHC energies. The success of our model is mainly the estimation of v2v_2 from final state particle kinematic information and learning the centrality and the transverse momentum (pTp_{\rm T}) dependence of v2v_2 in wide pTp_{\rm T} regime. The deep learning model is trained with AMPT-generated Pb-Pb collisions at sNN=5.02\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}} = 5.02 TeV minimum bias events. We present v2v_2 estimates for π±\pi^{\pm}, K±\rm K^{\pm}, and p+pˉ\rm p+\bar{p} in heavy-ion collisions at various LHC energies. These results are compared with the available experimental data wherever possible.
