Measurement of anisotropic radial flow in relativistic heavy ion

Lin Li, Na Li, Yuanfang Wu
We suggest the azimuthal distribution of mean transverse (radial) rapidity of the final state particles as a more direct measure of the transverse motion of the source than the standard azimuthal multiplicity distribution. Using a sample generated by the AMPT model with string melting, we demonstrate that the azimuthal amplitude of the suggested distribution characterizes the anisotropic radial flow, and coincides with the parameter of anisotropic radial rapidity extracted from a generalized blast-wave parametrization.
