We present a review of the measurements of elliptic flow (v2) of light nuclei (d, d¯, t, He3, and He¯3) from the RHIC and LHC experiments. Light (anti)nuclei v2 have been compared with that of (anti)proton. We observed a similar trend in light nuclei v2 to that in identified hadron v2 with respect to the general observations such as pT dependence, low pT mass ordering, and centrality dependence. We also compared the difference of nuclei and antinuclei v2 with the corresponding difference of v2 of proton and antiproton at various collision energies. Qualitatively they depict similar behavior. We also compare the data on light nuclei v2 to various theoretical models such as blast-wave and coalescence. We then present a prediction of v2 for He3 and He4 using coalescence and blast-wave models.

The Difference

The nuclear symmetry energy at densities above saturation density (ρ0 ~ 0.16fm-3) is poorly constrained theoretically and very few relevant experimental data exist. Its study is possible through Heavy Ion Collisions (HIC) at energies E/A > 200 MeV , particularly with beams of neutron-rich radioactive nuclei. The energy range implies that the momentum dependence of the isospin fields, i.e. the difference of the effective masses on protons and neutrons, also has to be investigated before a safe constraint on E sym (ρ) is possible. We discuss the several observables which have been suggested, like n/p emission and their collective flows and the ratio of meson yields with different isospin projection, π-/π+ and K0/K+. We point out several physical mechanisms that should be included in the theoretical models to allow a direct comparison to the more precise experiments which will be able to distinguish the isospin projection of the detected particles: CSR/Lanzhou, FAIR/GSI, RIBF/RIKEN, FRIB/MSU.
