3 Elliptic flow Determine to what extent the initial state spatial anisotropy is mapped into the final state particle production. dN/d(f -YR ) = N0 (1 + 2v1cos (f-YR) + 2v2cos (2(f-YR) ) Sensitive to the degree of equilibration and the initial equation of state. Affects other variables, such as HBT and spectra. July 18, 2002 S.Manly (PHOBOS) - QM2002
