Elliptic flow fluctuations in central collisions of spherical and deformed nuclei
Giuliano Giacalone
Elliptic flow () fluctuations in central heavy-ion collisions are direct probes of the fluctuating geometry of the quark-gluon plasma, and, as such, are strongly sensitive to…
Kurtosis of elliptic flow fluctuations
Rajeev S. Bhalerao, Giuliano Giacalone, Jean-Yves Ollitrault
Elliptic flow () in ultrarelativistic nucleus-nucleus collisions fluctuates event to event, both in magnitude and in orientation with respect to the reaction plane. Even thoug…
Gluon density fluctuations in dilute hadrons
Laura Dominé, Giuliano Giacalone, Cédric Lorcé +2
Motivated by the relation existing between the gluon density in a hadron and the multiplicity of the particles measured in the final state of hadron-nucleus collisions, we study sy…
Isolating dynamical net-charge fluctuations
Rudolph Rogly, Giuliano Giacalone, Jean-Yves Ollitrault
We modify the usual definitions of cumulants of net-charge fluctuations in a way that isolates dynamical fluctuations. The new observables, which we call dynamical cumulants, are r…
Signature of gluon saturation in forward di-hadron correlations at the Large Hadron Collider
Giuliano Giacalone, Cyrille Marquet
We argue that gluon saturation effects may be visible in Large Hadron Collider (LHC) data. We look at the centrality dependence of the away-side peak of two-particle correlations m…
Nonlinear coupling of flow harmonics in heavy-ion collisions
Giuliano Giacalone
Anisotropic flow coefficients beyond triangular flow receive important contributions from lower-order harmonics through nonlinear coupling. We present a theoretical framework which…
Confronting hydrodynamic predictions with Xe-Xe data
Giuliano Giacalone, Jacquelyn Noronha-Hostler, Matthew Luzum +1
Comparing collision systems of different size, at near the same collision energy, offers us the opportunity to probe the scaling behavior and therefore the nature of the system its…
Geometric scaling in symmetric nucleus-nucleus collisions
Rudolph Rogly, Giuliano Giacalone, Jean-Yves Ollitrault
We show that the centrality dependence of the multiplicity is identical in Pb+Pb and Xe+Xe collisions at the LHC, up to a constant factor. This geometric scaling is revealed if one…
Forward di-hadron back-to-back correlations in collisions from rcBK evolution
Javier L. Albacete, Giuliano Giacalone, Cyrille Marquet +1
We study the disappearance of the away-side peak of the di-hadron correlation function in p+A vs p+p collisions at forward rapidities, when the scaterring process presents a manife…
Reconstructing the impact parameter of proton-nucleus and nucleus-nucleus collisions
Rudolph Rogly, Giuliano Giacalone, Jean-Yves Ollitrault
In proton-nucleus and nucleus-nucleus collision experiments, one determines the centrality of a collision according to the multiplicity or energy deposited in a detector. This serv…
Nonlinear coupling of flow harmonics: Hexagonal flow and beyond
Giuliano Giacalone, Li Yan, Jean-Yves Ollitrault
Higher Fourier harmonics of anisotropic flow ( and beyond) get large contributions induced by elliptic and triangular flow through nonlinear response. We present a general fra…
