Blast-wave description of Upsilon elliptic flow at LHC energies — Klaus Reygers1, Alexander Schmah1, •Anastasia Berdnikova2, and Xu Sun3 — 1Physikalisches Institut, Ruprecht-Karls-Universit at Heidelberg, Heidelberg, Germany — 2National Research Nuclear University MEPhI, Moscow, Russian Federation — 3Georgia State University, Atlanta, Georgia 30303, USA
A simultaneous blast-wave fit to particle yields and elliptic flow (v2) measured as a function of transverse momentum in Pb–Pb collisions at LHC energies is presented. A compact formula for the calculation of v2(pT) for an elliptic freeze-out surface is used which follows from the Cooper-Frye ansatz without further assumptions. Over the full available pT range, the Υ elliptic flow data is described by the prediction based on the fit to lighter particles. This prediction shows that, due to the large Υ mass, a sizable elliptic flow is only expected at transverse momenta above 10 GeV/c.
