- Abstract
- The integrated elliptic flow of charged particles produced in Pb+Pb collisions at $\sqrt{{s}_{\mathrm {NN}}}=2.76$ TeV has been measured with the ATLAS detector using data collected at the Large Hadron Collider. The anisotropy parameter, $v_2$ , was measured in the pseudorapidity range $|\eta |\le 2.5$ with the event-plane method. In order to include tracks with very low transverse momentum $p_{\mathrm {T}}$ , thus reducing the uncertainty in $v_2$ integrated over $p_{\mathrm {T}}$ , a $1~\mu \hbox {b}^{-1}$ data sample marc:recorded without a magnetic field in the tracking detectors is used. The centrality dependence of the integrated $v_2$ is compared to other measurements obtained with higher $p_{\mathrm {T}}$ thresholds. The integrated elliptic flow is weakly decreasing with $|\eta |$ . The integrated $v_2$ transformed to the rest frame of one of the colliding nuclei is compared to the lower-energy RHIC data.
