Effects of hadronic potentials on elliptic flows in relativistic heavy ion collisions
Within the framework of a multiphase transport (AMPT) model that includes both initial partonic and final hadronic interactions, we show that including mean-field potentials in the hadronic phase leads to a splitting of the elliptic flows of particles and their antiparticles, thus providing a plausible explanation of the different elliptic …
