Charmonium Triangular Flow in High Energy Nuclear Collisions

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2022-03-14 v1 Nuclear Theory

Abstract

We calculate, for the first time, J/ψJ/\psi triangular flow in high energy nuclear collisions. The charmonium motion in medium is controlled by a transport equation with loss and gain terms, and the evolution of the hot medium is governed by a single-shot hydrodynamic equation with a triangularly deformed initial condition. In comparison with the elliptic flow v2v_2, the triangular flow v3v_3 comes almost completely from the charmonium regeneration in the quark gluon plasma and therefore is more sensitive to the medium properties.
