Anisotropic flow of identified particles in Pb-Pb collisions at \sqrt{s_{NN}} = 2.76 TeV measured with ALICE at the LHC

Understand

We report on the elliptic and triangular flow measurements for a number of hadrons including charged pions, and (anti-)protons, as well as those with strangeness content: kaons, ${\rm \phi}$-meson, ${\rm K^0_s}$, ${\rm \Lambda/\bar{\Lambda}}$, ${\rm \Xi}$, and ${\rm \Omega}$.

• The results reported cover mid--rapidity, $|\eta|<0.8$, and a wide, $0.2 < p_{\rm T} < 16$ GeV/$c$, transverse momentum range for Pb-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}$ = 2.76 TeV recorded by ALICE at the LHC.
• The mass splitting and the scaling properties of the elliptic flow with the number of constituent quarks and the particle transverse mass are studied as a function of collision centrality.
• The results are ompared to RHIC measurements and to hydrodynamic model predictions.
