Abstract

In the framework of a multi-phase transport model, fluctuation and correlation of the azimuthal anisotropies in 12^{12}C+197^{197}Au collisions at SNN\sqrt{S_{NN}} = 200 GeV are explored. Properties of the initial eccentricity and final harmonic flow fluctuation resulted from 12^{12}C+197^{197}Au collisions with Woods-Saxon configuration and triangular α\alpha-clustering configurations of 12^{12}C are investigated via scaled variance, skewness and kurtosis. Comparisons are made between results from α\alpha-clustered configurations and Woods-Saxon configuration. The triangular flow fluctuation is found to have particular sensitivity in distinguishing triangular α\alpha-clustering structure of 12^{12}C. Furthermore, correlations between initial eccentricities and final flow harmonics are studied with strong multiplicity dependence observed for the correlation functions.
