Anisotropic flows of light-flavor and charmed hadrons in Pb+Pb collisions at LHC energy

We apply a constituent quark equal-velocity combination (EVC) model to study the elliptic flow ($v_{2}$) and triangular flow ($v_{3}$) of light-flavor and single-charmed hadrons in Pb+Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=$ 2.76 and 5.02 TeV. $v_{2,3}$ of hadrons in the EVC model can be expressed as a linear superposition of the $v_{2,3}$ of quarks at the same velocity as that of the hadrons. We find that available experimental data for $v_{2}$ and $v_{3}$ of $p$, $\Lambda$, $\Xi$, and $\Omega$ as the function of transverse momentum ($p_{T}$) can be consistently explained by the EVC formula using a $v_{2}$ of up/down quarks and a $v_{2}$ of strange quarks. In comparison with $v_{2}$ data of $\phi$ at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=$2.76 TeV which can be naturally explained by $v_{2}$ of strange quarks, explanation of data of $\phi$ mesons at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=$5.02 TeV requires an additional contribution of two-kaon coalescence, which indicates approximately 20% influence of final-state hadronic rescattering on $v_{2}$ of $\phi$ at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=$5.02 TeV. Using $v_{2}$ and $v_{3}$ of light-flavor quarks obtained in studying light-flavor hadrons and $v_{2}$ and $v_{3}$ of charm quarks determined from $D^{0}$ meson data, we apply the EVC model to predict the anisotropic flows of $D_{s}^{+}$, $\Lambda_{c}^{+}$, $\Xi_{c}^{0}$, and $\Omega_{c}^{0}$ and compare them with the available experimental data. The preliminary data for $v_{2}$ of $D^{0}$, $D_{s}^{+}$, and $\Lambda_{c}^{+}$ at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=$ 5.36 TeV are found to be naturally described by the EVC model.

Anisotropic flows of identified hadrons in the equal-velocity quark combination model at RHIC energy

We employ an equal-velocity quark combination model to study anisotropic flows $v_{2}$, $v_{3}$ and $v_{4}$ of identified hadrons at mid-rapidity in heavy-ion collisions at RHIC energies. Under the equal-velocity combination mechanism of constituent quarks at hadronization, we build analytical formulas of anisotropic flows of hadrons in terms of those of quarks just before hadronization. We systematically analyze the contribution of higher order flows of quarks, and show how simple formulas of $v_{2}$, $v_{3}$ and $v_{4}$ of identified hadrons with the desired precision can be obtained by neglecting the small contribution of higher order flows of quarks. We systematically test these simple formulas of hadronic flows by the experimental data of $v_{2}$, $v_{3}$ and $v_{4}$ of identified hadrons $\phi$, $\Lambda$, $\Xi^{-}$, $\Omega^{-}$, $\bar{\Lambda}$, $\bar{\Xi}^{+}$, $\bar{\Omega}^{+}$, $p$ and $\bar{p}$ in Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=$ 19.6, 54.4 and 200 GeV, and we find that the equal-velocity quark combination model can well describe the measured $v_{2}$, $v_{3}$ and $v_{4}$ of identified hadrons in Au+Au collisions at those collision energies. We further study the obtained anisotropic flows of quarks and find two scaling properties\textcolor{red}{{} }which can be qualitatively understood by the hydrodynamic evolution of thermal quark medium produced in relativistic heavy-ion collisions.

Averaged transverse momentum correlations of hadrons in relativistic heavy-ion collisions

We compile experimental data for the averaged transverse momentum ($\left\langle p_{T}\right\rangle $) of proton, $Λ$, $Ξ^{-}$, $Ω^{-}$ and $ϕ$ at mid-rapidity in Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=$ 200, 39, 27, 19.6, 11.5, 7.7 GeV and in Pb+Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=$ 2.76 TeV, and find that experimental data of these hadrons exhibit systematic correlations. We apply a quark combination model with equal-velocity combination approximation to derive analytic formulas of hadronic $\left\langle p_{T}\right\rangle $ in the case of exponential form of quark $p_{T}$ spectra at hadronization. We use them to successfully explain the systematic correlations exhibited in $\left\langle p_{T}\right\rangle $ data of $pΛ$, $ΛΞ^{-}$, $Ξ^{-}Ω^{-}$ and $Ξ^{-}ϕ$ pairs. We also use them to successfully explain the regularity observed in $\left\langle p_{T}\right\rangle $ of these hadrons as the function of $(dN_{ch}/dy)/(N_{part}/2)$ at mid-rapidity in central heavy-ion collisions at both RHIC and LHC energies. Our results suggest that the constituent quark degrees of freedom and the equal-velocity combination of these constituent quarks at hadronization play important role in understanding the production of baryons and $ϕ$ meson at these RHIC and LHC energies.
