Description
"The anisotropic flow coefficients $v_n$ can provide constraints crucial for
precision extraction of the specific shear viscosity eta/s, of the plasma
(QGP) produced in heavy-ion collisions at RHIC. A significant recent attention
has been given to theoretical studies of $v_n$ (odd and even) and
the associated initial [fluctuating] eccentricities which drive $v_n$.
In recent experiments, the PHENIX Collaboration has made
detailed differential measurements of $v_n$ (odd and even) relative
to the participant event planes $\Psi_n$ as a function of transverse
momentum, centrality, collision system (Au+Au, Cu+Cu, Cu+Au), beam energy
for different particle species. The results from these
measurements will be presented and discussed.
Detailed comparisons to LHC data will be shown as appropriate."
