• Initial spatial fluctuations of nucleons lead to higher moments of deformations in the fireball, each with its own orientation.
• The spatial anisotropy is transferred to momentum space by collective flow
• The harmonics vn carry information about the medium: initial geometry, h/s
• Understanding of higher order vn can shed light on the physics origin of “ridge” and “cone” seen in 2P correlations

5Centrality dependence of vn
•5% Centrality bins + 0-1% centrality bin
•v2 has a stronger centrality dependence.
•Other vn are flatter.
•In most central collisions, v3,v4 can be larger than v2 at high enough pT
6
• Similar trend across all harmonics (increase till 3-4GeV then decrease)• In most central collisions(0-5%): v3, v4 can be larger than v2.

• For Correlations:
relation is true only if the h dependence is weak
,, v v va b a bn n n n
10Two Particle -Dh Df correlationsNear-side jet peak is always visible
Ridge seen in central and mid-central collisions, weak h dependence
Away side has double hump structure in most central events
Peripheral events have near side peak truncated
Ridge strength first increases then decreases with centrality
Peripheral events have jet related peaks only
11Obtaining harmonics from correlations
Soumya Mohapatra : Stony Brook University : ATLAS Collaboration
a) The 2D correlation function in ,Dh Df.
b) The corresponding 1D correlation function in Df for 2<|Dh|<5 ( the |Dh| cut removes near side jet)
c) The vn,n obtained using a Discrete Fourier Transformation(DFT)
d)Corresponding vn values

12 Dh dependence of vn
Soumya Mohapatra : Stony Brook University : ATLAS Collaboration
•Repeat procedure in narrow Dh slices to obtain vn vs . Dh
•vn values peak at low Dh, due to jet bias.
•Relatively flat afterwards, so we require a | | Dh >2 gap (to remove near-side jet).

13Universality of vn
Soumya Mohapatra : Stony Brook University : ATLAS Collaboration
vn,n is expected to factorize into single vn for flow
Obtain vn using “fixed pT” correlations
cross-check via “mixed-pT” correlation
Indeed, vn,n factorizes! (above certain Dh)

Centrality Dependence
15pT Dependence of v2
Soumya Mohapatra : Stony Brook University : ATLAS Collaboration
The 2PC vn for |Dh|<0.5 deviates from the EP results (for all pT)
Good agreement seen for |Dh|>2 at pT<4 GeV.
See deviations for pT>4 GeV even for |Dh|>2 due to increased away-side jet contribution (which swings along )Dh .
16pT Dependence of other vn
Soumya Mohapatra : Stony Brook University : ATLAS Collaboration
We see similar trend as v2
17Recovering the correlations from EP vn
Soumya Mohapatra : Stony Brook University : ATLAS Collaboration
From 2PC method From EP method
Chose v1,1 and normalization to be same as original correlation function, but all other harmonics are from EP analysis.
Correlation function is well reproduced, ridge and cone are recovered!
Common physics origin for the near and away-side long range structures.

• Measured v2-v6 by both correlation and event-plane analysis.
– Significant and consistent v2-v6 were observed by the two methods. – Measured in phase space much larger than at RHIC.– Each vn can act as independent cross-check for h/s.
• Noted that v2 doesn’t change drastically from RHIC to LHC
• Observed that the vn follow a simple scaling relation: vn1/n v∝ 2
1/2.
• Concluded that the features in two particle correlations for | |>2Dh at low and intermediate pT (pT<4.0GeV) can be accounted for by the collective flow of the medium.
– Double hump and ridge arise due to interplay of even and odd harmonics

• Left panel: : v1(pTa) vs Dh for four fixed-pT correlations.
– We see that v1 ,1(pTa ) can become negative showing eta dependence of v1
• Right panel: v1(pTb) vs for target pT in (1.4,1.6) GeV
– We see that v1(pTb) depends on pT
a showing the breakdown of the scaling relation

• pT evolution of two-particle Df correlations for 0-10% centrality selection, with a large rapidity gap (|Dh|>2) to suppress the near-side jets and select only the long range components.

• The EP is determined with the Q-vector method using ET flow in FCal
• In mid-central collisions, the Q2 vector is distributed in a ring-like structure indicating the excellent ability of the FCal in determining the reaction plane
• In Central and mid-central collisions and for higher harmonics, the ring blurs out

The correlations are constructed by dividing foreground pairs by mixed background pairs.
Mixed background pairs account for detector acceptance. Final correlation contains only physical effects.
The detector acceptance causes fluctuations ~ 0.001 in the foreground pairs, which mostly cancels out in the ratio.
