Elliptic flow: pseudorapidity and number of participants dependence

High Energy Physics - Theory 2014-11-21 v1 High Energy Physics - Phenomenology

Abstract

We discuss the elliptic flow dependence on pseudorapidity and number of participating nucleons in the framework of string percolation, and argue that the geometry of the initial overlap region of interaction, projected in the impact parameter plane, determines the experimentally measured azimuthal asymmetries. We found good agreement with data.
