Description
Constraining the properties of the quark--gluon plasma (QGP) depends heavily on our understanding of all phases of heavy-ion collisions. An important advancement has been the definition of symmetric cumulants (SC), which have been shown to be very sensitive to the transport properties of the QGP. Since the SC measurements of lower-order flow harmonics provided more information about the initial state and dynamical properties of the QGP, they are extended to higher-order flow estimators.
In this talk, we present the first measurements of the so-called asymmetric cumulants, which are a further generalization of the symmetric cumulants developed to study the correlations between the different orders of the flow amplitudes. The presented comparison with state-of-the-art hydrodynamic predictions will test our current knowledge of heavy-ion collisions.
