Abstract

The ALICE detector at the LHC recorded first Pb-Pb collisions at 2.76 TeV in November and December of 2010. We report on the measurements of anisotropic flow for charged and identified particles. From the comparison with measurements at lower energies and with model predictions we find that the system created at these collision energies is described well by hydrodynamical model calculations and behaves like an almost perfect fluid.
