Azimuthal anisotropy of K^0_S and Lambda production at mid-rapidity from Au+Au collisions at root s_NN = 130 GeV
Abstract
Description
We report STAR results on the azimuthal anisotropy parameter v2 for strange particles K0S and Lambda at midrapidity in Au+Au collisions at /s_NN = 130 GeV at RHIC. The value of v2 as a function of transverse momentum pt and collision centrality is presented for both particles and compared to model calculations. A strong pt dependence in v2 is observed up to pt ~2.0 GeV/c where v2 begins to saturate.
