2026-07-072026-07-07http://salesiana.dossiersoluciones.com/handle/123456789/126491Based on A Multi-Phase Transport (AMPT) model, we have studied the elliptic flow $v_{2}$ of $ϕ$ mesons from reconstructed $K^{+}K^{-}$ decay channel at the top Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider energy at Brookhaven National Laboratory. The dependences of $v_{2}$ on transverse momentum $p_T$ and collision centrality are presented and the rescattering effect of $ϕ$ mesons in the hadronic phase is also investigated. The results show that experimental measurement of $v_{2}$ for $ϕ$ mesons can retain the early collision information before $ϕ$ decays and that the $ϕ$ $v_2$ value obeys the constituent quark number scaling which has been observed for other mesons and baryons. Our study indicates that the $ϕ$ $v_2$ mostly reflects partonic level collectivity developed during the early stage of the nucleus-nucleus collision and the strange and light up/down quarks have developed similar angular anistropy properties at the hadronization.5 pages and 5 figures; accepted by Physical Review CNuclear TheoryHigh Energy Physics - Phenomenologytext
