STAR S.A. Voloshin Data set Minimum bias trigger - Zero Degree Calorimeter coincidence Magnetic field 0.25 tesla p t > 75 MeV/c 22k events with reconstructed vertex | Z vertex | < 75 cm, | X vertex | < 1 cm, | Y vertex | < 1 cm Quality cuts for flow analysis 0.1 < p t < 2.0 GeV/c -- to have efficiency constant +/- 10% |  | < 1.3

STAR S.A. Voloshin Vertex finder and tracking efficiencies Beam-gas interactions CTB trigger threshold Correlation between Central Trigger Barrel signal and number of primary tracks => near constant tracking efficiency Beam-gas interactions All events Reconstructed vertex CTB trigger threshold

STAR S.A. Voloshin Azimuthal Anisotropy pXpX pYpY  i Event Plane - an estimator for the reaction plane Elliptic flow:

STAR S.A. Voloshin Method Summary Define subevents - independent groups of particles Correlate subevent planes Calculate the reaction plane resolution Correlate particles with a plane Gives v( , p t ) Correct for the reaction plane resolution

STAR S.A. Voloshin Quality Check: Some Details Particle  distribution in the lab TPC sector boundaries Event plane distribution Particle Correlation with respect to event plane Note: Highly suppressed zero (fluctuations ~3%)

STAR S.A. Voloshin n ch - number of primary tracks in |  | < 0.75 ~ 90% of all hadronic Au+Au interactions Eight centrality bins Centrality

Voloshin The Signal Non-Flow Effects Momentum conservation HBT, Coulomb (final state) Resonance decays Jets (jet quenching -- flow !) 2nd harmonic 1st harmonic Subevents chosen Pseudorapidity Random Charge A A B B -1<  < <  <1 First and higher harmonics => systematic error for elliptic flow

Voloshin Centrality Dependence  = initial space anisotropy =  y 2 - x 2  /  y 2 + x 2  Curve for v 2 /  = 0.16 Systematic error: Uncertainty of 10% in  total => 5% in b/2R Subevents chosen: - Pseudorapidity - Random - Charge Particles correlated: - In opposite hemisphere - From all other particles - Opposite charge Cuts:

STAR S.A. Voloshin Summary v 2 increases with collision energy AGS (full energy) 2% SPS3.5% RHIC6% Comparison with theory Data: v 2,max  0.06 RQMD: v 2,max  0.025, different centrality dependence UrQMD: v 2,max  Data: v 2 /   Hydro: v 2 /  

STAR S.A. Voloshin Conclusions Elliptic flow is large at RHIC, v 2,max  0.06 Reaction plane resolution is good for related studies v 2 (  ) constant for |  | < 1.3 v 2 (p t ) almost linear up to 2 GeV/c stronger than average radial in-plane expansion Centrality dependence close to hydrodynamic model Magnitude approaching hydrodynamic model prediction Consistent with significant early-time equilibration
