Description

In this talk, results are presented on the investigation the source of azimuthal asymmetry for nuclear collision using a model that contemplates particles produced in the initial hard collisions and the collective effects described by a Blast-Wave like expansion. The latter is described by the relaxation time approximation of the Boltzmann transport equation. The initial condition includes parton saturation effects. The parameters regarding collective flow and asymmetry are fitted by the experimental data from pT spectrum and v2 for PbPb and XeXe collisions at different centrality classes.
