Non-equilibrium components in very low transverse momentum region in high-energy nuclear collisions

Abstract

We analyze Pb+Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\mathrm{NN}}}=2.76$ TeV with a novel framework based on the dynamical core--corona picture that describes particle productions from both equilibrium and non-equilibrium components. We remark the possibility of the contribution from non-equilibrium components at very low transverse momentum ($p_T$) region and show that such contributions significantly affect $p_T$-integrated four-particle cumulants. These results strongly suggest the necessity of non-equilibrium components when one extracts properties of the quark-gluon plasma from experimental data using sophisticated dynamical models based on relativistic hydrodynamics.
