[Brahms-l] Abstract for the APS Tampa Meeting

Brahms,
   I have recieved three comments on the abstract so far, and I have made some minor changes in considering the comments.

Comments:
1) I think you probably should mention what data/reaction and particle and
kinematic range (especially rapidity or pseudo-rapidity) you are going to talk
about in the abstract.  

2) I also think that the measurements
of pseudorapidity dependence of v2 is still quite important and interesting
and should be presented as more than "a proof of principle".
 
3) I understand from your abstract that you have some first results on
 elliptic flow of identified particles. Why not state it clearly
 in the last sentence?
 This is what I suggest:
 "With the event plane determined from the multiplicity array, elliptic
 flow of identified particles detected in the BRAHMS spectrometers will
 also be discussed."




New Abstract:

Elliptic flow is sensitive to the initial partonic dynamics of heavy-ion collisions and can be deduced from the observation of an anisotropic particle density with respect to an event plane defined by the collision geometry.   Before the RHIC run in 2004 of Au-Au collisions at #sqrt{s_{NN}} = 200 GeV, the BRAHMS multiplicity array was reconfigured to allow for a more robust measure of the collision event plane.  The dependence of the elliptic flow signature (v_{2}) for charged particles on centrality and pseudorapidity ( |#eta| < 3 ) will be presented, showing that the event plane can be accurately determined by the BRAHMS experiment.  A comparison will be made with the event plane resolutions reported from the other RHIC experiments.  With the event plane determined from the multiplicity array, the elliptic flow of the identified particles detected in the BRAHMS spectrometers will also be discussed.

P.S. I will submit the abstract tomorrow around 1pm Central Time.
