Elliptic flow of $\varphi$-meson at intermediate $p_T$: Influence of mass versus quark number

Subikash Choudhury, Debojit Sarkar, Subhasis Chattopadhyay

We have studied elliptic flow ($v_2$) of $\varphi$-mesons in the framework of a multi phase transport (AMPT) model at LHC energy. In the realms of AMPT model we observe $\varphi$-mesons at i…
