Özet
The observation of a strongly-coupled quark-gluon plasma (QGP), a state of matter composed of deconfined quarks and gluons, was established by experiments investigating ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions at the BNL RHIC [1–4] and CERN LHC [5, 6]. The azimuthal particle correlations constitute an effective tool to probe the properties of the QGP [1–9]. These correlations are parameterized by a Fourier expansion [10–12], with the magnitude of the Fourier coefficients, vn, providing information about the initial collision geometry and its fluctuations [12]. The second-(v2) and third-(v3) order Fourier coefficients are referred to as “elliptic” and “triangular” flow harmonics, respectively. Measuring these coefficients for particle species with different quark composition provides additional information about this hot and dense medium [13]. Because of their large mass, charm and bottom quarks are produced earlier in the collisions than the light quarks (up and down)[14, 15]. In addition, the charm and bottom quarks have masses many times larger than the typical temperatures in the QGP [16]. These heavy quarks experience the full evolution of the medium until the hadronization phase. As a consequence, the vn of charmed D0 (uc) and D 0 (uc) mesons (henceforth referred to as D0 mesons, except where explicitly stated otherwise) are ex-
