Abstract

The elliptic flow coefficient (v ₂) of identified particles in Pb-Pb collisions at $ \sqrt{s_{\mathrm{NN}}}=2.76 $ TeV was measured with the ALICE detector at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The results were obtained with the Scalar Product method, a two-particle correlation technique, using a pseudo-rapidity gap of |Δη| > 0.9 between the identified hadron under study and the reference particles. The v ₂ is reported for π ^±, K^±, K ⁰_S , $ \mathrm{p}+\overline{\mathrm{p}} $, ϕ, $ \Lambda +\overline{\Lambda} $, $ {\Xi}^{-}+{\overline{\Xi}}^{+} $ and $ {\Omega}^{-}+{\overline{\Omega}}^{+} $ in several collision centralities. In the low transverse momentum (p _T) region, p _T < 3 GeV/c, v ₂(p _T) exhibits a particle mass dependence consistent with elliptic flow accompanied by the transverse radial expansion of the system with a common velocity field. The experimental data for π ^± and the combined K^± and K ⁰_S results, are described fairly well by hydrodynamic calculations coupled to a hadronic cascade model (VISHNU) for central collisions. However, the same calculations fail to reproduce the v ₂(p _T) for $ \mathrm{p}+\overline{\mathrm{p}} $, ϕ, $ \Lambda +\overline{\Lambda} $ and $ {\Xi}^{-}+{\overline{\Xi}}^{+} $. For transverse momentum values larger than about 3 GeV/c, particles tend to group according to their type, i.e. mesons and baryons. The present measurements exhibit deviations from the number of constituent quark (NCQ) scaling at the level of ±20% for p _T > 3 GeV/c.
