Elliptic flow from event-by-event hydrodynamics with fluctuating initial state

Abstract

We develop an event-by-event ideal hydrodynamical framework where initial state density fluctuations are present and where we use a similar flow-analysis method as in the experiments to make a one-to-one v2v_2 comparison with the measured data. Our studies also show that the participant plane is quite a good approximation for the event plane.
