流动涨落和部分热化对$v_4$的影响

Effects of flow fluctuations and partial thermalization on $v_4$

Clement Gombeaud, Jean-Yves Ollitrault

摘要:

在相对论重离子对撞机(RHIC)上测量了Au+Au碰撞中粒子方位角分布的二次和四次傅里叶谐波,即$v_2$和$v_4$。谐波$v_4$主要由作为高阶效应的$v_2$诱发。然而,比值$v_4/(v_2)^2$明显大于流体动力学预测值。部分热化的影响估计的基础上的运输计算,并示出增加$v_4/(v_2)^2$的少量。我们认为,实验上看到的大值的$v_4/(v_2)^2$主要是由于椭圆流波动。然而,偏心率波动的标准模型无法解释中心碰撞中$v_4/(v_2)^2$的大幅度。

英文摘要:

The second and fourth Fourier harmonic of the azimuthal distribution of particles, $v_2$ and $v_4$, have been measured in Au+Au collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). The harmonic $v_4$ is mainly induced from $v_2$ as a higher-order effect. However, the ratio $v_4/(v_2)^2$ is significantly larger than predicted by hydrodynamics. Effects of partial thermalization are estimated on the basis of a transport calculation, and are shown to increase $v_4/(v_2)^2$ by a small amount. We argue that the large value of $v_4/(v_2)^2$ seen experimentally is mostly due to elliptic flow fluctations. However, the standard model of eccentricity fluctuations is unable to explain the large magnitude of $v_4/(v_2)^2$ in central collisions.
