Measurement of Identified π0 and Inclusive Photon Second-Harmonic Parameter v2 and Implications for Direct Photon Production in √sNN = 200GeV Au + Au
2006
The
azimuthaldistribution of identified π0 and inclusive
photonshas been measured in VsNN=200 GeV Au+Au collisions with the PHENIX experiment at the
Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider(RHIC). The second-harmonic parameter (v2) was measured to describe the observed anisotropy of the
azimuthaldistribution. The measured inclusive
photonv2 is consistent with the value expected for the
photonsfrom hadron decay and is also consistent with the lack of direct
photonsignal over the measured pT range 1–6 GeV/c. An attempt is made to extract v2 of direct
photons.
