Abstract
Elliptic flow of deuterons is measured on simulated collisions events of Pb+Pb at CMS energy of 2.76 TeV per colliding nucleon pair. We use hybrid model that includes hydrodynamics for the deconfined phase and hadron transport as an afterburner. For deuterons, two production mechanisms are examined: coalescence, and direct thermal production during hadronisation and subsequent transport through the hadronic phase. Differential elliptic flow of deuterons in different centrality bins is evaluated for both implemented production models. In this approach, coalescence describes the experimental data better than direct deuteron production.
