Event-by-event fluctuations in the initial density distributions of the fireballs created in relativistic heavy-ion collisions lead to event-by-event fluctuations of the final anisotropic flow angles, and density inhomogeneities in the initial state cause these flow angles to vary with the transverse momentum of the emitted particles. It is shown that these effects lead to characteristically different transverse momentum dependencies for anisotropic flow coefficients extracted from different experimental methods. These differences can be used to experimentally constrain flow angle fluctuations in the final state of heavy-ion collisions which, in turn, are sensitive to the initial state density fluctuations and the shear viscosity of the expanding fireball medium.

  1. An MLE analysis on the relationship between the initial-state granularity and final-state flow factorization

    nucl-th 2025-02 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Flow factorization, but not differential flow, responds strongly to initial-state granularity in peripheral-tube hydrodynamic simulations, and MLE and cumulant estimators disagree on these correlators.
