Abstract

A simultaneous blast-wave fit to particle yields and elliptic flow (v2v_{2}) measured as a function of transverse momentum in Pb-Pb collisions at LHC energies is presented. A compact formula for the calculation of v2(pT)v_2(p_T) for an elliptic freeze-out surface is used which follows from the Cooper-Frye ansatz without further assumptions. Over the full available pTp_T range, the Υ\Upsilon elliptic flow data is described by the prediction based on the fit to lighter particles. This prediction shows that, due to the large Υ\Upsilon mass, a sizable elliptic flow is only expected at transverse momenta above 10 GeV/cc.
