Abstract

The elliptic flow (v2v_{2}) at sNN=\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}} = 11.5, 39, and 200 GeV and triangular flow (v3v_{3}) at sNN=\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}} = 200 GeV of identified particles (π±,K±,KS0,p,pˉ,ϕ,Λ\pi^{\pm}, K^{\pm}, K^{0}_{S}, p, \bar{p}, \phi, \Lambda and Λˉ\bar{\Lambda}) from 0\%--80\% central Au+Au collisions are analyzed using a multiphase transport (AMPT) model. It is shown that the experimental results from the η\eta-sub event plane method can be reproduced with a parton scattering cross section between 1.5 and 3 mb. We also studied the differential and integrated v2/v3v_{2}/v_{3} ratios and conclude that they are anti-corrected with the parton scattering cross section.
