    "abstract": "We argue that RHIC data, in particular those on the anisotropic flow\ncoefficients v_2 and v_4, suggest that the matter produced in the early stages\nof nucleus-nucleus collisions is incompletely thermalized. We interpret the\nparameter (1/S)(dN/dy), where S is the transverse area of the collision zone\nand dN/dy the multiplicity density, as an indicator of the number of collisions\nper particle at the time when elliptic flow is established, and hence as a\nmeasure of the degree of equilibration. This number serves as a control\nparameter which can be varied experimentally by changing the system size, the\ncentrality of the collision, or the beam energy. We provide predictions for\nCu-Cu collisions at RHIC as well as for Pb-Pb collisions at the LHC.",
