Abstract

The elliptic (), triangular (), and quadrangular () flow coefficients of , , , , , and the -meson are measured in Pb-Pb collisions at TeV. Results obtained with the scalar product method are reported for the rapidity range 0.5 as a function of transverse momentum, , at different collision centrality intervals between 0-70%, including ultra-central (0-1%) collisions for , , and . For GeV, the flow coefficients exhibit a particle mass dependence. At intermediate transverse momenta (~8-10 GeV), particles show an approximate grouping according to their type (i.e., mesons and baryons). The -meson , which tests both particle mass dependence and type scaling, follows at low and at intermediate . The evolution of the shape of as a function of centrality and harmonic number is studied for the various particle species. Flow coefficients of , , and for GeV are compared to iEBE-VISHNU and MUSIC hydrodynamical calculations coupled to a hadronic cascade model (UrQMD). The iEBE-VISHNU calculations describe the results fairly well for GeV, while MUSIC calculations reproduce the measurements for GeV. A comparison to coefficients measured in Pb-Pb collisions at = 2.76 TeV is also provided.
