It presents the first measurements of elliptic and higher harmonic flow coefficients for identified particles at 5.02 TeV, enhancing understanding of QGP viscosity and initial state effects.

## Key findings

- Flow coefficients measured for multiple particle species.
- Results suggest specific viscosity values of the quark-gluon plasma.
- Data improves constraints on initial collision conditions.

## Abstract

Anisotropic flow measurements constrain the shear $(\eta/s)$ and bulk ($\zeta/s$) viscosity of the quark-gluon plasma created in heavy-ion collisions, as well as give insight into the initial state of such collisions and hadronization mechanisms. In these proceedings, elliptic ($v_2$) and higher harmonic ($v_3, v_4$) flow coefficients of $\pi^{\pm}$, $K^{\pm}$, p$(\overline{\rm{p}})$ and the $\phi$-meson,measured in Pb--Pb collisions at the highest-ever center-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}$ = 5.02 TeV, are presented.
