Abstract

We use a simple coalescence model to generate f0f_{0}(980) particles for three configurations: a ssˉ{s\bar{s}} meson, a uuˉssˉ{u\bar{u}s\bar{s}} tetraquark, and a K+K{K^{+}K^{-}} molecule. The phase-space information of the coalescing constituents is taken from a multi-phase transport (AMPT) simulation of heavy-ion collisions. It is shown that the number of constituent quarks scaling of the elliptic flow anisotropy can be used to discern ssˉ{s\bar{s}} from uuˉssˉ{u\bar{u}s\bar{s}} and K+K{K^{+}K^{-}} configurations.
