System-size dependence of the $D^0$--$D_s^{+}$ flow splitting from early $D_s^{+}$ formation at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=5.36$~TeV

Hui Du, Xiao-Wei Hao, Wei Dai +3

We investigate the elliptic-flow splitting between prompt $D^0$ and $D_s^{+}$ mesons within a heavy-quark transport framework with sequential hadronization, in which $D_s^{+}$ forms at…
