Azimuthal correlation with the reaction plane Built up in the early stage and self-quenched, therefore supply the early information of matter generated in the collision

Partonic FlowPHENIX, PRL. 99, 052301 (2007)
Baryon and meson elliptic flow follow the number of constituent quark scaling as a function of KET. This indicates that partonic flow builds up at RHIC
How about the higher order anisotropic flow such as v4?
Where is the break point where the hydro interfaces with jet fragmentation

V4/(v2)2 ratio
v4 /v22 is a probe of ideal
hydro behavior and related to the degree of thermalization!

Hydro dynamics predicts v4 /v2

The identified particles v4/v2
2 ratio should provide more detailed information than that of charged hadron

Recombination module
• Large baryon/meson ratios, a factor of 3 above standard fragmentation
• The data prefer to the particle production by the recombination in the intermediate pT
• The deuteron will supply more information to check the recombination module

PHENIX in Run 7
Run 7: ~5.5B events and around 50% have been used A new Time of Flight detector (TOFw) has been installed in the west arm of PHENIX A new reaction plane detector (RxNP) has been installed in the 38 cm < |z| < 42 cm alone the beam

TOFw and Aerogel Detectors
1. TOFw intrinsic timing resolution is ~ 75ps2. /K can be separated to 2.8 GeV/c , K/p can be separated to 4.5 GeV/c and deuteron can be identified to 6~7GeV/c3. Together with Aerogel detector(ACC), we can identify the K to pT~4 GeV/c and , p to 7 GeV/c

Both detectors are away from mid-rapidity. Smaller non-flow effect on the reaction plane measurements
New RxNP detector resolution is around 74% at mid-centrality

The mass ordering has also been observed for v4
The number of constituent quark scaling holds for v4 when KET/nq < 1 GeV. This confirms that matter with partonic degrees of freedom has been generated at RHIC

V4/(v2)2 ratio
The ratio of v4/(v2)2 is close to 0.9 for the , K and p
Mesons and baryons have similar v4/(v2)2 ratio
What can we extract from this?

Charged v2
Charged v2 can be measured to6 GeV/c.
The results are consistent with 0 results in the overlap pT region.
All v2 start to drop at pT ~ 2.5 GeV/c in the different centrality bins!

Kaon and Proton v2
Kaon v2 can be measured to 4 GeV/c and protons v2 can be measured to 6 GeV/c
Proton v2 starts to drop at pT ~ 4 GeV/c

Break Point?
In the centrality of 20~60%, the , K and p KET scaling seemingly begins to break at KET/nq ~ 1 GeV
More statistics are required for the further investigation

dbar/d ratio vs pT
• Similar to pbar/p ratio, no pT and centrality dependence has been observed for the dbar/d ratio
• The dbar/d ratio is 0.46±0.01(stat)±0.05(sys) and p/bar is 0.73 ± 0.01
• The dbar/d ratio is close to the (pbar/p)2

Conclusions New time of flight detector(TOFw) of PHENIX runs successfullyin Run 7 with 75 ps intrinsic timing resolution. With new TOFw, we have measured the identified charged hadrons v2 to pT~6 GeV/c, v4 to 4GeV/c and deuteron spectra to 5GeV/c
The number of constituent quark scaling seemingly begins to break for v2 as KET/nq~1GeV at 20~60% centrality
The d/dbar ratio has no pT and centrality dependence and the deuteron Rcp peaks at pT~3~3.5GeV/c with the value around 2.8 The coalescence parameter (B2) and source radius extracted from deuteron production indicate that the source radius decreases with pT but increases linearly with Npart
1/3, which is consistent with expanding source
The number of constituent quark scaling has been observed for v4 for KET/nq < 1 GeV. Mesons and bayrons have similar v4/(v2)2 ratio which is close to 0.9
