Systematic procedure for analyzing cumulants at any order
Philippe Di Francesco, Maxime Guilbaud, Matthew Luzum +1
We present a systematic procedure for analyzing cumulants to arbitrary order in the context of heavy-ion collisions. It generalizes and improves existing procedures in many respect…
The fluctuations of quadrangular flow
Giuliano Giacalone, Li Yan, Jacquelyn Noronha-Hostler +1
The ATLAS Collaboration has measured for the first time the fourth cumulant of quadrangular flow, . Unlike the fourth cumulants of elliptic and triangular flows, it pre…
Skewness of elliptic flow fluctuations
Giuliano Giacalone, Li Yan, Jacquelyn Noronha-Hostler +1
Using event-by-event hydrodynamic calculations, we find that the fluctuations of the elliptic flow () in the reaction plane have a negative skew. We compare the skewness of $v…
Symmetric cumulants and event-plane correlations in Pb+Pb collisions
Giuliano Giacalone, Li Yan, Jacquelyn Noronha-Hostler +1
The ALICE Collaboration has recently measured the correlations between amplitudes of anisotropic flow in different Fourier harmonics, referred to as symmetric cumulants. We derive…
Thoughts on heavy-ion physics in the high luminosity era: the soft sector
Federico Antinori, Francesco Becattini, Peter Braun-Munzinger +28
This document summarizes thoughts on opportunities in the soft-QCD sector from high-energy nuclear collisions at high luminosities.
Non-Gaussian eccentricity fluctuations
Hanna Grönqvist, Jean-Paul Blaizot, Jean-Yves Ollitrault
We study the fluctuations of the anisotropy of the energy density profile created in a high-energy collision at the LHC. We show that the anisotropy in harmonic has generic non…
