Why Elliptic Flow ?
• The probe for early time– The dense nuclear overlap is
ellipsoid at the beginning of heavy ion collisions
– Pressure gradient is largest in the shortest direction of the ellipsoid
– The initial spatial anisotropy evolves (via interactions
and density gradients ) Momentum-space anisotropy
– Signal is self-quenching with time

Elliptic flow: eccentricity scaling
• Ideal hydro is scale invariant:
v2(pt,b,A)/v2(b,A)~v2(pt)• v2(b,A)/ε(b,A)~const “Integrated v2 reflects momentum
anisotropy of bulk matter and saturates within the first 3-4 fm/c just after collision” (Gyulassy,Hirano Nucl.Phys.A769:71-94,2006)
In hydro models integrated v2 is proportional to the eccentricity

NCQ (pNCQ (pTT/n) scaling compared to KE/n) scaling compared to KETT /n /n
KET/n scaling works for the full measured range with deviation less than 10% from the universal scaling curve NCQ- scaling works only at 20% level for pt>2 GeV/c and breakes below with clear systematic dependence on the mass

Elliptic flow of φ meson and partonic collectivity at RHIC.
φ meson has a very small σ for interactions with non-strange particles φ meson has a relatively long lifetime (~41 fm/c) -> decays outside the fireball φ is a meson but as heavy as baryons (p, Λ ) : m(φ)~1.019 GeV/c2 ; (m(p)~0.938 GeV/c2: m(Λ)~1.116 GeV/c2) -> very important test for v2 at intermediate pt ( mass or
meson/baryon effect?)

v2 of φ meson and partonic collectivity at RHIC
v2 vs KET – is a good way to see if v2 for the φ follows that for mesons or baryons
v2 /n vs KET/n scaling clearly works for φ mesons as well

Summary
• Scaling predictions of perfect fluid hydrodynamics for the elliptic flow coefficient v2 tested and validated
• Development of elliptic flow in the pre-hadronization phase demonstrated
• Scaling of D meson v2 compatible with full thermalization of the charm quark observed.
• Universal scaling of the flow of both mesons and baryons (over a broad transverse kinetic energy range) via quark number scaling observed.
• Scaled flow values allow constraints for several transport coefficients.
• Outlook: we need to find the range where scaling holds and where it breakes.
