Elliptic Flow at Finite Shear Viscosity in a Kinetic Approach at RHIC

V. Greco, M. Colonna, M. Di Toro +1

Within a covariant parton cascade, we discuss the impact of both finite shear viscosity and freeze-out dynamics on the elliptic flow generated at RHIC. We find that the enhance…

The effect of quark coalescence on conical signals

Vincenzo Greco, Giorgio Torrieri, Jorge Noronha +1

We explore the effect of hadronization by partonic coalescence on a "conical" signal at the partonic level. We show that, by transferring partons from a lower to a higher , co…
