The physics mechanisms of light and heavy flavor v₂ and mass ordering in AMPT

A Multi-Phase Transport (AMPT) model has been shown to describe experimental data well, such as the bulk properties of particle spectra and elliptic anisotropy ($v_{2}$) in heavy ion collisions. Recent studies have shown that AMPT describes the $v_{2}$ data in small system collisions as well. In these proceedings, we first investigate the origin of the mass ordering of identified hadrons $v_{2}$ in heavy ion as well as small system collisions. We then study the production mechanism of the charm $v_{2}$ in light of the escape mechanism for the light quark $v_{2}$.
