Anisotropic Flow@ RHIC Hiroshi Masui / Univ. of Tsukuba Feb./11/2007 RHIC高エネルギー原子核反応の物理研究会、RHIC現象論松本合宿 Outline Introduction Anisotropic flow, eccentricity Results Several scaling relations have been observed especially for elliptic flow Eccentricity scaling Scaling of higher order anisotropy mT and NCQ scaling of elliptic flow Summary Definition Terminology Anisotropic Flow What ? Azimuthally anisotropic emission of particles with respect to the reaction plane Why ? The probe for early time Driven by initial eccentricity of overlap zone Re-interactions among the particles (pressure gradien
