Elliptic flow fluctuations and correlations in Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=200$ GeV

Abstract

In this talk, we report an analysis of elliptic flow ($v_2$), non-flow (${\delta }_2$), and $v_2$ fluctuations (${\sigma }_{v_2}$) for the STAR collaboration at middle rapidity in $\sqrt{s_{{}_{NN}}}=200$ GeV Au+Au collisions. We compare the results to models of the fluctuations in the initial eccentricity of the overlap zone.
