Dielectron Azimuthal Anisotropy at mid-rapidity in Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{_{NN}}} = 200$ GeV

Published 7 Feb 2014 in nucl-ex | (1402.1791v2)

Abstract: We report on the first measurement of the azimuthal anisotropy ($v_2$) of dielectrons ($e{+}e{-}$ pairs) at mid-rapidity from $\sqrt{s_{{NN}}} = 200$ GeV Au+Au collisions with the STAR detector at RHIC, presented as a function of transverse momentum ($p_T$) for different invariant-mass regions. In the mass region $M{ee}!<1.1$ GeV/$c2$ the dielectron $v_2$ measurements are found to be consistent with expectations from $\pi{0}$, $\eta$, $\omega$ and $\phi$ decay contributions. In the mass region $1.1!<M_{ee}!<2.9$ GeV/$c2$, the measured dielectron $v_2$ is consistent, within experimental uncertainties, with that from the $c\bar{c}$ contributions.
