Charged particle anisotropic flow

Directed flow measurement in AuAu@62GeV

Two methods were used to calculate directed flow:

• three particle correlations (mixed harmonic method). FTPC and TPC data were used.
• two particle correlations with spectator nucleons. Data from newly installed in 2004 ZDC SMD detector were used.

Talks and Publications

• Results are presented at QM2005 conference (nucl-ex/0510034)
• Paper on "Directed flow in Au+Au collisions at sqrt(s_NN)= 62GeV"submitted for publication to PRC Rapid Communication (nucl-ex/0510053).

Charged particle elliptic flow in AuAu@62GeV and AuAu200GeV data (RUN IV)

The measurement of elliptic flow in AuAu at 62 and 200 GeV data were performed using TPC and FTPC data. The non-flow contribution to two particle correlations at different pseudorapidity regions was discussed.
