Study of pseudorapidity dependence of the anisotropic flow with ALICE at the LHC

We report on the pseudo-rapidity dependence of the charged particle anisotropic flow in Pb–Pb collisions at 2.76 TeV. The measurement is done over a wide range of pseudo-rapidity, image using the forward detectors of ALICE at the LHC. Results are obtained from two- and multi-particle correlation techniques with the latter being less sensitive to non-flow effects. Elliptic flow longitudinal scaling, comparison with RHIC data and AMPT model calculations for the LHC are discussed.
