The centrality dependence of elliptic flow at LHC

TL;DR

This paper predicts how elliptic flow varies with collision centrality in lead-lead collisions at the LHC, providing insights into the collective behavior of quark-gluon plasma.

Contribution

It offers the first detailed predictions for elliptic flow centrality dependence at LHC energies, extending previous lower-energy studies.

Findings

Elliptic flow increases with collision centrality.

Predicted elliptic flow values are higher than at lower energies.

Results help interpret future LHC experimental data.

Abstract

We present predictions for the centrality dependence of elliptic flow at mid-rapidity in Pb-Pb collisions at the LHC.
