Transverse Dynamics at RHIC

Abstract

Studies of <p_{T}>, transverse momentum spectra and anisotropy flow from nuclear collisions at RHIC indicate early thermalization and strong collective expansion. We propose a systematic study of the anisotropy parameter $v_2$ and the transverse momentum distributions of $\varphi ,\Omega ,D^0,{\Lambda }_C$ and $J/\psi$ in order to extract information on partonic collective flow.
