Flow Results and Hints of Incomplete Thermalization

Abstract

We classified v2v_2 measurements according to their sensitivities w.r.t. to two planes, namely, reaction plane and participant plane. Likewise, in v2/ϵv_2/\epsilon scaling, we showed that one needs to choose a ϵ\epsilon that is sensitive to the same plane as that v2v_2 is sensitive to. We presented our v2/ϵv_2/\epsilon as a function of centrality and transverse momentum. We studied the ratio of v4/v22v_4/v_2^2. We discussed the applicable range for hydrodynamics, as well as implications to an incomplete thermalization.
