Event-by-event hydrodynamics for heavy-ion collisions

Abstract

We compare v2/ε2 and v3/ε3 from single-shot and event-by-event (2+1)-dimensional hydrodynamic calculations and discuss the validity of using single-shot calculations as substitutes for event-by-event calculations. Further we present a proof- of-concept calculation demonstrating that v2 and v3 together can be used to strongly reduce initial condition ambiguities.
