We present a new method for analyzing directed and elliptic flow in heavy ion collisions. Unlike standard methods, it separates the contribution of flow to azimuthal correlations from contributions due to other effects. The separation relies on a cumulant expansion of multiparticle azimuthal correlations, and includes corrections for detector inefficiencies. This new method allows the measurement of the flow of identified particles in narrow phase-space regions, and can be used in every regime, from intermediate to ultrarelativistic energies.

    A new model of energy density fluctuations in heavy-ion collisions, built from elementary 1/r^2 sources, reproduces CGC one- and two-point functions to leading-log accuracy and explains the centrality dependence of bo...

  4. Effectiveness of nonflow suppression using multi-particle correlators

    nucl-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

  5. Bayesian inference constraints on jet quenching across centrality, beam energy, and observable classes in LHC heavy-ion collisions

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Bayesian posteriors from JETSCAPE jet-quenching model are largely compatible across centrality but exhibit shifts across beam energy and observable class, with varying ability to predict complementary datasets.

  6. Two-particle cumulant distribution: a simulation study of higher moments

    hep-ph 2025-07 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Simulations show non-flow two-particle cumulant distributions have high skewness and kurtosis while true elliptic flow distributions are closer to Gaussian with lower values.
