Eccentricity scaling of elliptic flow in relativistic Au + Au collisions

  • 1. Department of Physics, Harbin Institute of Technology, Harbin (China)

Description

Elliptic flow for Au + Au non-central collisions at √SNN=200 GeV is investigated within a (2+1)-dimensional hydrodynamic model. The results show that the eccentricity scaling for the collisions is almost perfect. The evolution including the phase transition conforms to the demand of scaling invariance of hydrodynamics of the collision system. (authors)
