| dc.description.abstract | We present the first measurements of forward rapidity charged hadron and open heavy flavor muon elliptic flow at RHIC energies. We use the event plane method to measure elliptic flow as a function of transverse momentum in the 2014 and 2016 datasets of 200 GeV Au+Au collisions. The results show clear non-zero elliptic flow of heavy flavor muons and clear mass ordering between charged hadrons and heavy flavor muons. | |
