Elliptic flow (v2) rises linearly with pT to a value of about 10% at 2 GeV/c. Beyond pT1.5 GeV/c, the slope decreases considerably, possibly indicating a saturation of v2 at high pT. Two-pion azimuthal anisotropies for pT>1.2 GeV/c exceed the elliptic flow values by about 60% in midcentral collisions. These nonflow contributions are attributed to nearside and back-to-back jetlike correlations, the latter exhibiting centrality dependent broadening. | External Publication Status: | published | Document Type: | Article |
