Measurement of the pseudorapidity and transverse momentum dependence of the elliptic flow of charged particles in lead-lead collisions at sNN=2.76 TeV with the ATLAS detector

This Letter describes the measurement of elliptic flow of charged particles in lead-lead collisions at sNN=2.76 TeV using the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The results are based on an integrated luminosity of approximately 7 μb -1 . Elliptic flow is measured over a wide region i...
