Fluctuations of harmonic flow along pseudorapidity, known as flow decorrelations, are an important probe of the initial state geometry of the quark-gluon plasma. The flow decorrelations are shown to be sensitive to the collective structure of the colliding nuclei, as revealed clearly by comparing collisions of isobars, $^{96}$Ru+$^{96}$Ru and $^{96}$Zr+$^{96}$Zr, which have different nuclear structures. The flow decorrelations in central collisions are mostly sensitive to nuclear deformations, while those in the mid-central collisions are primarily sensitive to differences in skin thickness between $^{96}$Ru and $^{96}$Zr. Longitudinal flow decorrelations in heavy-ion collisions are a new tool to probe the structure of colliding nuclei.

New measures of longitudinal decorrelation of harmonic flow
在相对论重离子碰撞中,在较宽的快度范围内观察到了谐波流,并对不同快度下的谐波流进行了关联。然而,波动会导致一个小的去相关的谐波流量大小和流量角在不同的rapidities。使用流体动力学模型与Glauber Monte Carlo初始条件,我们表明,流角去相关强烈依赖于事件中的流量大小。我们建议在实验中测量这种效果的观测。

Anisotropic flow decorrelation in heavy-ion collisions at RHIC-BES energies with 3D event-by-event viscous hydrodynamics
在RHIC束流能量扫描计划中,金原子核被碰撞,碰撞能量从几GeV到62.4 GeV。该计划的目标是探索QGP产生的开始,定位QCD的临界点和研究稠密的重子物质。本文首次应用Monte Carlo Glauber(GLISSANDO 2)和$_{\rm R}$初态扩展到3D,研究了$\sqrt{s_{_{\rm NN}}}=27$和62.4GeV(RHICBES能量较高区域)Au+Au碰撞强子级联模型的逐事件粘性流体动力学(vHLLE)。初始状态扩展到纵向和有限重子密度使用简单ansätze。实现了初态的全能量和重子电荷计数。我们展示了椭圆流的再现,在两个碰撞能量和两个初始状态。我们还比较了与UrQMD初始状态得到的结果。此外,我们显示了在$\sqrt{s_{_{\rm NN}}}=27$和200 GeV的椭圆流$r_2$的快度解相关的结果,从相同的设置的流体动力学计算与3D Monte Carlo Glauber和UrQMD初始状态。我们讨论的初始状态负责所观察到的流量去相关的大小的功能。
Pseudorapidity profile of transverse momentum fluctuations in heavy ion collisions
本文研究了相对论重离子碰撞中粒子平均横向流的赝快度关联。本文采用3+1维粘性相对论流体动力学方法,在夸克Glauber Monte Carlo模型的初始条件下,研究了最近在$\sqrt{s_{NN}}=2760$ GeV下Pb+Pb碰撞中横向动量涨落的赝快度关联.我们发现模型预测和数据之间的良好协议。此外,我们还研究了另外两个观测量在不同快度仓中的平均横动量协方差。这些观测值在各种系统学下具有更好的稳定性,从而允许数据和模型之间的鲁棒性比较。横向流-横向流相关系数与不同拟速下的底层集体流相关系数直接相关。伪快度中的$p_T$分解破缺的3-bin测量给出了纵向平均横向流的可能去相关的估计。
