Sub-leading flow modes in PbPb collisions at (~sNN)~(1/2) = 2.76 TeV from the HYDJET++ model
Abstract:Recent LHC results on the appearance of sub-leading flow modes in Pb Pb collisions at 2.76 TeV, related to initial-state fluctuations, are analyzed and interpreted within the HYDJET++ model. Using the newly introduced Principal Component Analysis(PCA) method applied to two-particle azimuthal correlations extracted from the model calculations, the leading and sub-leading flow modes are studied as a function of the transverse momentum(p T) over a wide centrality range. The leading modes of the elliptic(v_2~((1))) and triangular(v_3~((1))) flow calculated with the HYDJET++ model reproduce rather well the v_2 {2} and v_3 {2} coefficients measured experimentally using the two-particle correlations. Within the p T 3 Ge V/c range, where hydrodynamics dominates, the sub-leading flow effects are greatest at the highest p T of around 3 Ge V/c. The sub-leading elliptic flow mode(v_2~((2))), which corresponds to the n = 2 harmonic, has a small non-zero value and slowly increases from central to peripheral collisions, while the sub-leading triangular flow mode(v_3~((2))), which corresponds to the n = 3 harmonic, is even smaller and does not depend on centrality. For n= 2, the relative magnitude of the effect measured with respect to the leading flow mode shows a shallow minimum for semi-central collisions and increases for very central and for peripheral collisions. For the n= 3 case, there is no centrality dependence. The sub-leading flow mode results obtained from the HYDJET++model are in rather good agreement with the experimental measurements of the CMS Collaboration.
