Parallel Session 5.1: Collective Dynamics (I)
- Michael Strickland (Kent State University)
Theoretical calculations suggest that higher harmonic anisotropic flow vectors are superpositions of contributions from linear and non-linear hydrodynamic response, each reflecting different sensitivities to the fluctuating initial conditions and properties of the hot and dense matter created in heavy ion collisions [1].
In this talk, we present the first measurement on the non-linear...
Higher-order flow harmonics ($v_{n}$ with n $\gt$ 3) can be measured either with respect to the event plane of the same order, a lower order event plane, or a mixture of lower order planes (also called mixed higher-order harmonics). Studies of flow harmonics using the same order event plane have been used to extract the transport properties of the hot and dense medium produced in the...
Measurements of azimuthal anisotropic flow provide valuable information on the properties of the matter created in
heavy-ion collisions. In this talk we present the elliptic, triangular and quadrangular flow of inclusive and identified
charged particles measured in Pb-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}} = 5.02$ TeV recorded by the ALICE detector.
This center of mass energy is the highest...
Recent measurements at the LHC involve the correlation of different azimuthal flow harmonics $v_n$. These new observables add constraints to theoretical models and probe aspects of the system that are independent of the traditional single-harmonic measurements such as 2-and multi-particle cumulants $v_n\{m\}$. Many of these new observables have not yet been measured at RHIC, leaving an...
In this work we use our state of the art IP-Glasma+MUSIC+UrQMD framework to systematically study a wide range of hadronic flow observables at 2.76 TeV and to make predictions at 5.02 TeV \cite{1609.02958}. In addition to the single particle spectra and anisotropic flow coefficients $v_n$, we study event-plane correlations, non-linear response coefficients $\chi_n$, and flow factorization...
