Description

The anisotropic flow coefficients $v_n$ can provide constraints crucial for precision extraction of the specific shear viscosity eta/s, of the plasma (QGP) produced in heavy-ion collisions at RHIC. A significant recent attention has been given to theoretical studies of $v_n$ (odd and even) and the associated initial [fluctuating] eccentricities which drive $v_n$. In recent experiments, the PHENIX Collaboration has made detailed differential measurements of $v_n$ (odd and even) relative to the participant event planes $\Psi_n$ as a function of transverse momentum, centrality, collision system (Au+Au, Cu+Cu, Cu+Au, d+Au, He+Au), beam energy for different particle species. The results from these measurements will be presented and discussed.
