Anisotropic flow far from equilibrium

arXiv:1012.0899 · doi:10.1140/epjc/s10052-011-1612-7

Abstract

We compute analytically the anisotropic flow in an expanding mixture of several species of relativistic massive particles. We find that a single collision per particle in average already leads to sizable elliptic flow, with mass ordering between the species.
