Elliptic flow of charm hadrons is investigated based on the quark coalescence model. Due to the large difference between the charm quark and light quark masses, hadrons containing both light and charm quarks show a qualitatively different…
The scaling properties of elliptic flow of hadrons produced in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions are investigated at low transverse momenta, $p_T\lsim 2$\,GeV. Utilizing empirical parameterizations of a thermalized fireball with…
We show that either mass ordering or quark number scaling of anisotropic flow can result from quark coalescence, depending on the nature of phase space correlations at hadronization. Quark number scaling signals nonequilibrium dynamics…
Based on the quark coalescence model for the parton-to-hadron phase transition in ultra-relativistic heavy ion collisions, we relate the elliptic flow ($v_2$) of high $\pt$ hadrons to that of high $\pt$ quarks. For high $\pt$ hadrons…
We show that hadronization via quark coalescence enhances hadron elliptic flow at large pT relative to that of partons at the same transverse momentum. Therefore, compared to earlier results based on covariant parton transport theory, more…
We find that a simple extension of the coalescence model is sufficient to incorporate the perfect quark number scaling behavior of the elliptic flow in transverse kinetic energy, recently discovered by the PHENIX Collaboration. The flavor…
Elliptic flow of hadrons observed at relativistic heavy-ion collision experiments at Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider (RHIC) and Large Hadron Collider (LHC), provides us an important signature of possible de-confinement transition from…
Elliptic flow has been one of the key observables for establishing the finding of the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) at the highest energies of Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) and the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). As a sign of collectively…
Using models ranging from schematic one with a simple quark distribution to more realistic blast wave, we study the elliptic flow of hadrons produced from coalescence of quarks and antiquarks in the quark-gluon plasma that is formed in…
The large and saturating differential elliptic flow v2(pT) observed in Au+Au reactions at RHIC so far could only be explained assuming an order of magnitude denser initial parton system than estimated from perturbative QCD. Hadronization…
We investigate the consequences of space-momentum correlations in quark phase-space distributions for coalescence processes at the hadronization transition. Thus far it has been proved difficult to reconcile such correlations with the…
We employ the Boltzmann equation for describing hadron production from a quark-gluon plasma (QGP) in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions. We propose resonance formation in quark-antiquark scattering as the dominant meson-production…
We examine whether the breakdown in elliptic flow quark number scaling observed at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) energy scan is related to the turning off of deconfinement by testing the hypothesis that hydrodynamics and parton…
We review the quark coalescence model for hadronization in relativistic heavy ion collisions and show how it can explain the observed large baryon to meson ratio at intermediate transverse momentum and scaling of the elliptic flows of…
The constituent quark number scaling of elliptic flow is studied in a non-equilibrium hadronization and freeze-out model with rapid dynamical transition from ideal, deconfined and chirally symmetric Quark Gluon Plasma, to final…
Simultaneous description of heavy quark nuclear suppression factor $R_{AA}$ and the elliptic flow $v_2$ is a top challenge for all the existing models. We highlight how the temperature dependence of the energy loss/transport coefficients is…
Hydrodynamics and jet quenching are responsible for the elliptic flow $v_2$ and suppression of large transverse momentum ($p_T$) hadrons, respectively, two of the most important phenomena leading to the discovery of a strongly coupled…
Large hadronic elliptic flow $v_2$ is considered as an evidence for the existence of a strongly-coupled QGP fluid in high-energy heavy-ion collisions. On the other hand, direct photon $v_2$ has recently been found to be much larger than…
We have studied elliptic flow ($v_{2}$) of $\phi$-mesons in the framework of a multi phase transport (AMPT) model at LHC energy. In the realms of AMPT model we observe $\phi$-mesons at intermediate transverse momentum ($p_{T}$) deviate from…
Extensions of the blast-wave model for the description of non-central collisions are reviewed and the physics behind them is explained and illustrated. It is shown how the second-order anisotropy in expansion velocity together with the…
