Purpose of the work: (5-10 lines)
 The collective flow is one of the key measurements to study the hot and
dense matter created in heavy ion collisions.Silicon vertex tracker (VTX)
was installed into the PHENIX detector in 2010 and it successfully collected
approximately 5 billion events ofAu+Au collisions at 200 GeV in 2011 RHIC run.
VTX can reconstruct charged particle tracks in a widerange of pseudo-rapidity
(|eta|< 1.2) and almost 2 pi in phi direction. With this capability, it can
measure elliptic flow v2 and higher harmonics flow (v3, v4, ...) of charged
hadrons in a wide eta range.
 The purpose of this research is the measurement on v2 and higher
harmonic flow of charged hadrons and heavy flavor electrons.
