The Elliptic Flow of Multi-Strange Hadrons in √SNN=200GeV Au ＋ Au Collisions at STAR

摘要

Azimuthal anisotropy, especially for the multi-strange hadrons, is expected to be sensitive to the dynamical evolution in the early stage of high energy nuclear collisions. In this paper we present the latest results of multi-strange hadron elliptic flow in Au + Au collisions at √SNN=200GeV from the STAR experiment at RHIC. The number-of-quark scaling is evidenced with φ(ss) and Ω(sss) with highly statistical data, which shows strange quark collectivity at RHIC. The u2 of φ meson is found to be consistent with that of proton within statistical error bars at pw 〈 1 GeV/c.
