Abstract

Average azimuthal anisotropy for two different $p_{T}$ ranges as a function of centrality, here represented by the number of binary nucleon-nucleon collisions $N_{coll}$. Panel (a) shows the range from 2 to 3 GeV/c where the anisotropy is maximal. Panel (b) shows the high $p_{T}$ range from 10 to 20 GeV/c, where the photon is dominated by prompt production through hard scattering processes. For each point statistical errors are represented by lines, while systematic uncertainties are shown as shaded band.
