Modified Knudsen ansatz and elliptic flow in s\sqrt{s}=14 TeV pp collisions

preprint2011arXivOpen access

Abstract

Assuming that hot spots are formed in initial pp collisions, in a modified Knudsen ansatz, which accounts for the entropy generation in viscous fluid evolution, we have given predictions for elliptic flow in s\sqrt{s}=14 TeV pp collisions. Predicted flow depends on the number of hot spots and hot spot sizes. If two to four hot spots of size ≈\approx0.1 fm are formed in initial pp collisions, in events with multiplicity nmult≈n_ {mult}\approx10-15, modified Knudsen ansatz predicted flow is accessible experimentally in 4th order cumulant method.
