Abstract:
We report a precise measurement of the J=ψ elliptic flow in Pb-Pb collisions at ffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffi
sNN p ¼ 5.02 TeV with
the ALICE detector at the LHC. The J=ψ mesons are reconstructed at midrapidity (jyj < 0.9) in the
dielectron decay channel and at forward rapidity (2.5 transverse momentum. At forward rapidity, the elliptic flow v2 of the J=ψ is studied as a function of the
transverse momentum and centrality. A positive v2 is observed in the transverse momentum range
2 at ffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffi
sNN p ¼ 2.76 TeV in semicentral collisions. At midrapidity, the J=ψ v2 is investigated as a function of
the transverse momentum in semicentral collisions and found to be in agreement with the measurements at
forward rapidity. These results are compared to transport model calculations. The comparison supports the
idea that at low pT the elliptic flow of the J=ψ originates from the thermalization of charm quarks in the
deconfined medium but suggests that additional mechanisms might be missing in the models.
