Radial and elliptic flow at RHIC: further predictions

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2008-11-26 v2 Nuclear Theory

Abstract

Using a hydrodynamic model, we predict the transverse momentum dependence of the spectra and the elliptic flow for different hadrons in Au+Au collisions at sqrt(s) = 130 A GeV. The dependence of the differential and p_t-integrated elliptic flow on the hadron mass, equation of state and freeze-out temperature is studied both numerically and analytically.
