Abstract

We present blast wave fits to elliptic flow (v2(pT)v_{2}(p_{\rm T})) data in minimum bias collisions from the sNN=\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}} = 7.7--200 GeV at RHIC, and 2.76 TeV at LHC. The fits are performed separately for particles and corresponding anti-particles. The mean transverse velocity parameter β\beta shows an energy dependent difference between particles and corresponding anti-particles, which increases as the beam energy decreases. Possible effects of feed down, baryon stopping, anti-particle absorption, and early production times for anti-particles are discussed.
