Abstract

Anisotropic azimuthal correlations are used to probe the properties and the evolution of the system created in heavy-ion collisions. Two-particle azimuthal correlations were used in the searches of $p_{\rm T}$ dependent fluctuations of flow angle and magnitude, measured with the ALICE detector. The comparison of hydrodynamic calculations with measurements will also be presented in this proceedings.

Highlights

  • The primary goal of ultra relativistic heavy-ion collisions is to understand the properties of the quark-gluon plasma (QGP), a new state of matter whose existence under extreme conditions is predicted by quantum chromodynamics

  • Vn{2}/vn[2] and rn were proposed in hydrodynamic calculations [3, 4]. They are used to check whether the factorization of two-particle correlations into the product of single particle anisotropy harmonics is valid, which probes the pT dependent flow angle and magnitude fluctuations

  • Searches of pT dependent flow angle and magnitude fluctuations are performed by measuring vn{2}/vn[2] and rn

Summary

Introduction

The primary goal of ultra relativistic heavy-ion collisions is to understand the properties of the quark-gluon plasma (QGP), a new state of matter whose existence under extreme conditions is predicted by quantum chromodynamics. An important experimental observable toward this goal is the study of anisotropic flow using a Fourier expansion of the azimuthal anisotropy [1], d3N E d3p. Recent hydrodynamic simulations predict the pT dependent fluctuations of flow angle and magnitude. Vn{2}/vn[2] and rn were proposed in hydrodynamic calculations [3, 4]. They are used to check whether the factorization of two-particle correlations into the product of single particle anisotropy harmonics is valid, which probes the pT dependent flow angle and magnitude fluctuations.
