Strange and charged particle elliptic flow in Pb+Au collisions at 158 AGeV/c

We present Λ and π elliptic flow measurements from Pb+Au collisions at the highest SPS energy. The data, collected by the CERES experiment which covers η = 2.05 , 2.70 with full azimuthal coverage and wide p T sensitivity up to 3.5 GeV/c, can be used to test hydrodynamical models and show sensitivity to the EoS. The value of v 2 as a function of centrality and p T is presented. Values of v 2 observed by STAR at RHIC are larger by about 1/3. Our measurements are compared to results from other SPS experiments and to hydrodynamical calculations. Huge statistics allows for a precise measurement of the differential pion elliptic flow.
