Elliptic flow of J/$\psi$ at forward rapidity in Pb-Pb collisions at 2.76 TeV with the ALICE experiment

Abstract

We present the elliptic flow of inclusive J/$\psi$ measured in the ${\mu }^{+}{\mu }^{-}$ channel at forward rapidity ($2.5<y<4.0$), down to zero transverse momentum, in Pb-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{{}_{\mathrm{NN}}}}=2.76$ TeV with the ALICE muon spectrometer. The $p_{\mathrm{T}}$ dependence of J/$\psi$ $v_2$ in non-central (20%-60%) Pb-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{{}_{\mathrm{NN}}}}=2.76$ TeV is compared with existing measurements at RHIC and theoretical calculations. The centrality dependence of the $p_{\mathrm{T}}$-integrated elliptic flow, as well as the $p_{\mathrm{T}}$ dependence in several finer centrality classes is presented.
