Rapidity Dependence?Current Status
PHOBOS and STAR have measured p
T
integrated v2
over a wide pseudorapidity range.
→pT integrated
v2 has strong
pseudorapidity dependence.
Charged Hadron
STAR also measured charged hadron v
2(p
T) at forward rapidity, and find a large
pT dependence.

3D Hydro(Hirano)
3D Hydrodynamic calculation also shows a very small pseudorapidity dependence.

Centrality Dependence
Large centrality dependence is seen for p

integrated v2 —
consistant with PHOBOS results.

Conclusion
● v2(p
T) for charged hadrons and pions have been measured at
midrapidity as well as at forward rapidity. ● v
2(p
T) shows small pseudorapidity dependence—consistent with
3D Hydro model.● η dependence of p
T integrated v
2 is strongly sensitive to
measured spectra. ● Strong centrality dependence observed.
Proton and Kaon results are forthcoming.
