Abstract
The azimuthal anisotropy of charged particles in heavy ion collisions is an important probe of quark-gluon plasma evolution at early stages of reaction. Now, with the start of Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the collective effects in proton-proton collisions are also of great interest. In this work we analyze the ability of different methods to extract elliptic flow in pp collisions at LHC. The analysis is based on Monte Carlo simulations of proton-proton collisions with PYTHIA, PHOJET and EPOS event generators at energies = 900 GeV and 7TeV.
