Azimuthal Anisotropy from STAR Experiment

Abstract

We report the measurement of first (\textit{n} = 1) and higher order(\textit{n} = 2-5) harmonic coefficients (vnv_{n}) of the azimuthal anisotropy in the distribution of the particles produced in Au+Au collisions at sNN\sqrt{s_{NN}} =200 GeV and U+U collisions at sNN\sqrt{s_{NN}} =193 GeV, recorded with the STAR detector at RHIC. The differential measurement of (vn)(v_{n}) is presented as a function of transverse momentum (pTp_{T}) and centrality. We also present vnv_{n} measurement in the ultra-central collisions in U+U collisions. These data may provide strong constraints on the theoretical models of the initial condition in heavy ion collisions and the transport properties of the produced medium.
