Abstract

We have previously predicted multiplicities and transverse momentum spectra of hadrons for the most central LHC Pb+Pb collisions at sNN=5.5\sqrt{s_{NN}}=5.5 TeV using initial state for hydrodynamic evolution from pQCD + final state saturation model. By considering binary collision and wounded nucleon profiles we extend these studies to non-central collisions, and predict the pTp_{T} dependence of minimum bias v2v_{2} for pions at the LHC. For protons we also show how the pTp_{T} dependence of v2v_2 changes from RHIC to the LHC.
