20 Azimuthal distribution wrt reaction plane Describe distributions with respect to the event symmetry plane. Plane spanned by impact parameter and beam direction. Realign the events wrt to symmetry plane: J. Onderwaater (EMMI,GSI) Collective flow 29 November / 37
21 Azimuthal distribution wrt reaction plane Describe distributions with respect to the event symmetry plane. Plane spanned by impact parameter and beam direction. Realign the events wrt to symmetry plane: Now the Fourier series has to be written as: dn d(φ i Ψ n ) n=1 v n cos(n(φ i Ψ n )) J. Onderwaater (EMMI,GSI) Collective flow 29 November / 37
22 Azimuthal distribution wrt reaction plane dn d(φ i Ψ n ) n=1 v n cos(n(φ i Ψ n )) J. Onderwaater (EMMI,GSI) Collective flow 29 November / 37
23 Azimuthal distribution wrt reaction plane dn d(φ i Ψ n ) v n cos(n(φ i Ψ n )) n=1 Fourier coefficient v n is given by: v n = cos(n(φ i Ψ n )) J. Onderwaater (EMMI,GSI) Collective flow 29 November / 37
24 Azimuthal distribution wrt reaction plane dn d(φ i Ψ n ) n=1 Fourier coefficient v n is given by: v n = cos(n(φ i Ψ n )) v n cos(n(φ i Ψ n )) But the collision symmetry plane orientation is not known experimentally! J. Onderwaater (EMMI,GSI) Collective flow 29 November / 37
25 Analysis method with reaction plane Reaction plane can not directly be measured in experiment, but is determined with particle azimuthal distributions. Q-vector: Q n M i=1 e inφ i M e inφ i = Q n e inψ Qn = Qn,x + iq n,y i=1 Q n,x = Q n cos(nψ Qn ) Q n,x = Q n sin(nψ Qn ) J. Onderwaater (EMMI,GSI) Collective flow 29 November / 37
26 Analysis method with reaction plane Ψ n EP = 1 2 arctan 2(Q n,y, Q n,x ) The observed v obs n is retrieved with the event average: v obs n = cos(n[φ Ψ EP ]) Event plane resolution due to finite multiplicity: R = cos(n[ψ EP Ψ n ]) J. Onderwaater (EMMI,GSI) Collective flow 29 November / 37
27 Event plane method Event plane resolution relates to the flow coefficients (sin terms are 0 so we can write in complex numbers): v n = e (in[φ Ψn]), = e (in[φ Ψ EP])+(in[Ψ EP Ψ n]), = e(in[φ Ψ EP ]) = v e ( in[ψ EP Ψn]) n obs R J. Onderwaater (EMMI,GSI) Collective flow 29 November / 37
28 Event plane method Event plane resolution relates to the flow coefficients (sin terms are 0 so we can write in complex numbers): v n = e (in[φ Ψn]), = e (in[φ Ψ EP])+(in[Ψ EP Ψ n]), = e(in[φ Ψ EP ]) = v e ( in[ψ EP Ψn]) n obs R This approach already contains complicated correlations between multiple particles. A more simple approach is possible. J. Onderwaater (EMMI,GSI) Collective flow 29 November / 37
29 Two particle correlations An estimate of flow can be given with particles correlations : e i2(φ 1 φ 2 ) = e i2(φ 1 Ψ RP (φ 2 Ψ RP )), = e i2(φ 1 Ψ RP ) e i2(φ 2 Ψ RP ) + δ 2, = v δ 2 δ 2 : Correlations independent of Reaction Plane (non-flow). v 2 > 0 v 2 {2} > 0 v 2 = 0 v 2 {2} = 0 v 2 = 0 v 2 {2} > 0 J.

36 Energy dependence of elleptic flow Elleptic flow vs. centrality Over 4 decades of data taking spanning GSI, AGS, SPS, RHIC and LHC experiments. 30% increase of v 2 from RHIC: stronger collectivity at LHC. J. Onderwaater (EMMI,GSI) Collective flow 29 November / 37
37 Increase of flow due to stronger radial flow Increase of v 2 because of increase in p T -differential flow higher average transverse momentum of charged particles Agreement of v 2 (p T ) covers almost two orders of magnitude. J. Onderwaater (EMMI,GSI) Collective flow 29 November / 37

Plotted vs. transverse kinetic energy (KE T, m T = pt 2 + m2 ) J. Onderwaater (EMMI,GSI) Collective flow 29 November / 37
44 Constituent quark scaling at the LHC v 2 scaling with n q (constituent number of quarks) v 2 /n q ratio to pion v 2 /n q Low p T /m T : m T scaling is broken Intermediate p T /m T : Approximate scaling within 20% with number of quarks. Together with the features of the φ-meson v 2 at low p T this suggests that the system evolved through the deconfined (QGP) phase J. Onderwaater (EMMI,GSI) Collective flow 29 November / 37
45 Flow at high p T High p T partons loose energy in the medium via gluon radiation. Energy loss and absorbtion depends on path length through medium L. Creates azimuthal anisotropy resembling classic flow. J. Onderwaater (EMMI,GSI) Collective flow 29 November / 37

47 Event-by-event fluctuations Two collisions are never the same! Three collisions with the same impact parameter. The same Reaction Plane. J. Onderwaater (EMMI,GSI) Collective flow 29 November / 37
48 Event-by-event fluctuations Two collisions are never the same! Spacial asymmetry fluctuates the event-by-event anisotropic flow fluctuates. J. Onderwaater (EMMI,GSI) Collective flow 29 November / 37
49 Event-by-event fluctuations v k v k Neglecting non-flow terms, the cumulants can be written as (recall c n{2} = vn 2 + δ 2 and c n{4} = vn 4 + δ 4 + 4vn 2 δ 2 + 2δ2 2 2 v n 2 + δ 2 2 ): v n {2} = vn 2, v n {4} = 4 2 vn 2 2 vn 4. For Gaussian fluctuations: For σ v, and up to order σ 2 : v 2 n = σ 2 + v n 2 σ 2 v n {2} = v n v n, v n{4} = v n 1 2 v n Estimate of relative flow fluctuations: σ v = v 2 {4} v 2 {2} v 2 {4} + v 2 {2} σ 2 J. Onderwaater (EMMI,GSI) Collective flow 29 November / 37

53 Odd harmonics in fluctuations Odd harmonics arise purely due to fluctuations. Non-zero signal for v 3 {2} and v 3 {4} Together with fluctuations in the 2 nd harmonic provides strong constraint on the initial condition. J. Onderwaater (EMMI,GSI) Collective flow 29 November / 37
54 Fluctuations Identified particle v3 I Observed mass splitting for v3 supports expectations from hydrodynamic models I Additional strong constraint on η/s. J. Onderwaater (EMMI,GSI) I Mass dependence up to pt 8 GeV/c I Consistent with zero v3 at higher pt. Collective flow 29 November / 37
55 Summary Multi-particle correlations are an effective method to describe flow Flow is sensitive to the properties of the medium created in heavy-ion collisions. Elliptic flow of charged and identified particles indicates a strong rise of the expension velocity of the medium (radial flow) at RHIC vs LHC. All harmonics are sensitive to η/s, fits of hydro models indicate a strongly coupled phase with low η/3 J. Onderwaater (EMMI,GSI) Collective flow 29 November / 37
