J/Psi Elliptic Flow in Pb-Pb Collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}$ = 2.76 TeV
Abstract
We report on the first measurement of inclusive J/ elliptic flow, , in heavy-ion collisions at the LHC. The measurement is performed with the ALICE detector in Pb-Pb collisions at TeV in the rapidity range . The dependence of the J/ on the collision centrality and on the J/ transverse momentum is studied in the range GeV/. For semi-central Pb-Pb collisions at TeV, an indication of non-zero is observed with a maximum value of for J/ in the transverse momentum range GeV/. The elliptic flow measurement complements the previously reported ALICE results on the inclusive J/ nuclear modification factor and favors the scenario of a significant fraction of J/ production from charm quarks in a deconfined partonic phase.
