Abstract
Elliptic flow (\(v_{2}\)) of light nuclei (d, \(\overline{d}\), t, \(^{3}He\) and \(^{3}\overline{He}\)) has been measured at midrapidity for Au+Au collisions at \(\sqrt{s_{NN}}\) = 200, 62.4, 39, 27, 19.6, 11.5 and 7.7 GeV. Mass ordering of nuclei \(v_{2}(p_{T})\) at low \(p_{T}\) (\(p_{T}<2.0\) GeV/c) is reported. Strong centrality dependence is found for \(v_{2}\) of d and \(\overline{d}\) for the measured energy range. Atomic mass scaling of nuclei \(v_{2}(p_{T})\) is also observed.
This study was conducted for the STAR collaboration. A list of the STAR Collaboration is given at the end of this issue.
