| Differential flow harmonic $v_n$ in pPb and PbPb collisions | ||
| CMS Collaboration | ||
| September 2015 | ||
| Abstract: Previous CMS measurements have demonstrated the collective nature of multiparticle correlations in high-multiplicity pPb collisions at the LHC. This collectivity is consistent with a hydrodynamic flow origin. However, it can also be interpreted in terms of initial state effects arising from gluon saturation. The pseudorapidity dependence of the azimuthal Fourier coefficients ($v_n$) is expected to be sensitive to the underlying mechanism with, in the hydrodynamic picture, the longer lifetime of the fireball on the Pb-going side expected to lead to a larger flow signal than found on the p-going side. To investigate the detailed properties of the observed collectivity, differential $v_n$ values in transverse momentum ($p_T$) and pseudorapidity ($\eta$) are presented over the full range of the CMS tracker detector ($-2.4 < \eta < 2.4$) for pPb collisions at a nucleon-nucleon center-of mass energy of 5.02 TeV. Results based on multiparticle analyses involving four or more particles are shown. An event plane analysis is presented where the influence of recently demonstrated event-plane decorrelation is considered. Comparisons are made with peripheral PbPb collisions measured at similar mid-rapidity particle multiplicities. The results will be discussed in the context of current models of the longitudinal dependence of the multiparticle correlations. | ||

Figure 7:
Comparison of event-plane ($v_2\{\rm EP\}$) and cumulant ($v_2\{4\}$) results for the ratio $v_{2}(\eta )/v_{2}(\eta =0)$ with the two-particle correlation results from [49] for pPb collisions at $\sqrt {s_{\rm NN}} = 5.02{\rm TeV}$ and with $220\leq N_{\rm trk}^{\rm offline}< 260$. The [49] results are shown without the peripheral $v_{2}$ component subtraction, a correction for non-flow effects which increases the $v_{2}$ harmonics. The pseudorapidities are given in the laboratory frame. |
