Elliptic flow signal, v_2, is widely studied in heavy ion collisions. Researches have been done to obtain the pseudorapidity dependence of v_2, while the measurement of transverse momentum dependence is relatively few. This paper presents the transverse momentum dependence of v_2 in Pb+Pb collision at√(s_NN )=5.02 TeV. The measurement is performed in the region with pseudorapidity |η|<2.8 and transverse momentum 〖0.2 < p〗_T<6.0GeV. In this work, we use sub-event method to measure elliptic flow for the collisions in different ranges of transverse momentum. The result shows a polynomial relation between elliptic flow signal and transverse momentum. In Section 4, the limitation of our measurement is also discussed.
