Hadronic resonance gas and charged particle's $p_T$ spectra and elliptic flow in $\sqrt{s}$=200 GeV Au+Au collisions

Abstract

Charged particles $p_T$ spectra and elliptic flow in 0-60% Au+Au collisions at RHIC are analyzed in a hydrodynamic model with hot, hadronic resonance gas in the initial state. Physically conceivable hadronic resonance gas, thermalized in the time scale ${\tau }_i$=1 fm, at a (central) temperature $T_i$=220 MeV, with viscosity to entropy ratio $\eta /s$=0.24, reasonably well explains $p_T$ spectra in all the collision centralities. Centrality dependence of elliptic flow however demands continual increase of viscosity to entropy ratio with centrality.
