摘要

We report on new measurements of elliptic flow (v₂) of electrons from heavy-flavor hadron decays at mid-rapidity (|y|<0.8) in Au+Au collisions at s_{_NN} = 27 and 54.4 GeV from the STAR experiment. Heavy-flavor decay electrons (e^HF) in Au+Au collisions at s_{_NN} = 54.4 GeV exhibit a non-zero v₂ in the transverse momentum (p_T) region of p_T< 2 GeV/c with the magnitude comparable to that at s_{_NN}=200 GeV. The measured e^HF v₂ at 54.4 GeV is also consistent with the expectation of their parent charm hadron v₂ following number-of-constituent-quark scaling as other light and strange flavor hadrons at this energy. These suggest that charm quarks gain significant collectivity through the evolution of the QCD medium and may reach local thermal equilibrium in Au+Au collisions at s_{_NN}=54.4 GeV. The measured e^HF v₂ in Au+Au collisions at s_{_NN}= 27 GeV is consistent with zero within large uncertainties. The energy dependence of v₂ for different flavor particles (π,ϕ,D⁰/e^HF) shows an indication of quark mass hierarchy in reaching thermalization in high-energy nuclear collisions.
