Abstract

Differential measurements of the elliptic (v2) and hexadecapole (v4) Fourier flow coefficients are reported for charged hadrons as a function of transverse momentum (pT) and collision centrality or number of participant nucleons (Npart) for Au+Au collisions at √s NN=200GeV. The v2,4 measurements at pseudorapidity |η|≤0.35, obtained with four separate reaction-plane detectors positioned in the range 1.0<|η|<3.9, show good agreement, indicating the absence of significant Δη-dependent nonflow correlations. Sizable values for v44(pT) are observed with a ratio v4(p T,Npart)/v22(pT,N part) ≈ 0.8 for 50 Npart 200, which is compatible with the combined effects of a finite viscosity and initial eccentricity fluctuations. For Npart 200 this ratio increases up to 1.7 in the most central collisions.
