Meson and baryon elliptic flow at highpTfrom parton coalescence

Abstract: Abstract. The large and saturating differential elliptic flow v 2 (p ⊥ ) observed in Au + Au reactions at RHIC so far could only be explained assuming an order of magnitude denser initial parton system than estimated from perturbative QCD. Hadronization via parton coalescence can resolve this "opacity puzzle" because it enhances hadron elliptic flow at large p ⊥ relative to that of partons at the same transverse momentum. An experimentally testable consequence of the coalescence scenario is that v 2 (p ⊥ ) sat… Show more

“…As already discussed in Ref. [9], at this intermediate p T -range parton coalescence might enhance the measured elliptic flow by a factor of 2 − 3. Therefore, one should not expect that pure jet fragmentation and absorption models as the one discussed here fully describe the intermediate p T -range accessible at RHIC energies.…”

“…This conclusion seems to contradict to current experimental observations. On the other hand, that the yield in a given coalescence channel scales quadratically/cubically with the constituent number violates unitarity, as argued in [2,11,12], because the total number of hadrons should be linearly proportional to that of constituent quarks just before hadronization. Apparently, the total number of constituent quarks in final state hadrons should be equal to the quark number just before hadronization.…”
