Effect of Event-by-Event Fluctuations on Hydrodynamical Evaluation of Elliptical Flow

View document

Bibliographic Details
Summary:Elliptic flow at RHIC is computed event-by-event with NeXSPheRIO. We show that when symmetry of the particle distribution in relation to the reaction plane is assumed, there is a disagreement between the true and reconstructed elliptic flows. We suggest a possible way to take into account the asymmetry and get good agreement between these elliptic flows.
