Azimuthally anisotropic distributions of D0, D+, and D*+ mesons were studied in the central rapidity region (|y|<0.8) in Pb-Pb collisions at a center-of-mass energy sqrt[sNN]=2.76  TeV per nucleon-nucleon collision, with the ALICE detector at the LHC.

The directed flow of charged particles at midrapidity is measured in Pb-Pb collisions at √(s(NN))=2.76 TeV relative to the collision symmetry plane defined by the spectator nucleons. A negative slope of the rapidity-odd directed flow component with approximately 3 times smaller magnitude than found at the highest RHIC energy is observed.

The ALICE measurement of K(S)(0) and Λ production at midrapidity in Pb-Pb collisions at √(s(NN))=2.76 TeV is presented. The transverse momentum (p(T)) spectra are shown for several collision centrality intervals and in the p(T) range from 0.

Article Synopsis
  • The study reports the first observation of the elliptic flow (v2) of J/ψ particles in heavy-ion collisions at the LHC, using data from the ALICE detector in Pb-Pb collisions.
  • The measurement was taken at a collision energy of √(s(NN))=2.76 TeV, specifically looking at conditions between rapidity regions 2.5 to 4.0 and transverse momentum ranging from 0 to 10 GeV/c.
  • The results indicate a nonzero elliptic flow (v2=0.116±0.046(stat)±0.029(syst)) for J/ψ particles in semicentral collisions, suggesting that a substantial amount of J/ψ is produced from charm

We report the first measurement of the net-charge fluctuations in Pb-Pb collisions at sqrt[sNN]=2.76  TeV, measured with the ALICE detector at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. The dynamical fluctuations per unit entropy are observed to decrease when going from peripheral to central collisions.
