Description
Detailed measurements of collectivity in Au+Au collisions at RHIC provide a key
connection between the initial geometry of the deposited energy and the
hydrodynamic evolution of the medium. Utilizing the PHENIX silicon detectors, we present new measurements of flow coefficients extending over a wide range in pseudorapidity $-3 < \eta < 3 $ and to higher $p_T$. Over a broad range in centrality, we present cumulant results $v_2\{2\}$ - $v_2\{8\}$ and $v_3\{2\}$ - $v_3\{6\}$ with different methods for isolating flow and non-flow contributions. Complementing these results, we present flow coefficient unfolded distributions and compare them directly with theoretical models with event-by-event fluctuations. We also present a first look at symmetric cumulants of different orders.
