Elliptic flow and incomplete equilibration at RHIC
Open accessAbstract
Abstract We argue that RHIC data, in particular those on the anisotropic flow coefficients v 2 and v 4 , suggest that the matter produced in the early stages of nucleus–nucleus collisions is incompletely thermalized. We interpret the parameter ( 1 / S ) ( d N / d y ) , where S is the transverse area of the collision zone and d N / d y the multiplicity density, as an indicator of the number of collisions per particle at the time when elliptic flow is established, and hence as a measure of the degree of equilibration. This number serves as a control parameter which can be varied experimentally by changing the system size, the centrality or the beam energy. We provide predictions for Cu–Cu collisions at RHIC as well as for Pb–Pb collisions at the LHC.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
