3/11Universal Scaling of v2 ?
• Universal scaling of vUniversal scaling of v22 suggest suggest– v2 for a variety of particle species
at RHIC are determined through (, KET/nq)
– Its magnitude is established in partonic level before hadronization

4/11Motivation
• Universal scaling of vUniversal scaling of v22 has been observed by has been observed by assumingassuming v2 of non-identified charged hadrons– v2 F(KET/nq)
• QuestionsQuestions– Are these assumptions really correct ?– The scaling of v2 is tested from central to mid-centr
al. How about peripheral collisions ?
• Study the validity of the scaling of vStudy the validity of the scaling of v22 in a wide in a wide range of centrality for identified hadronsrange of centrality for identified hadrons

• Study the scaling of vStudy the scaling of v22(p(pTT) for identified hadrons i) for identified hadrons in a wide range of centralityn a wide range of centrality
• KEKETT + quark number scaling + quark number scaling– Scaling holds within systematic errors, except for low
KET
– New RXNP detector could help us to • reduce systematic errors• add more statistics at peripheral events
• Eccentricity scalingEccentricity scaling– Scaling breaks even in mid-central at high KET
• works for low KET within systematic errors
– Clear difference between central and peripheral• Suggest that v2 v2 f(Npart)

• Event plane resolution is determined by multiplicity and Event plane resolution is determined by multiplicity and vv22
– Maximum at mid-central• High multiplicity, small v2 at central• Low multiplicity, large v2 at peripheral

• WeightingWeighting part (coll)
• Calculated by weighting with Npart (Ncoll) distribution
• AveragingAveraging {2} 2
• Averaging of 2 over all events, then take square root
• More natural definition like measured v2
