Elliptic flow of thermal dileptons in event-by-event hydrodynamic simulation
Abstract
The elliptic flows of thermal di-electrons are investigated within a (2+1)-dimension event-by-event hydrodynamic model for Au+Au collisions at GeV. The fluctuating initial conditions are given by the Monte Carlo Glauber model. We find in our event-by-event calculation rather weak correlation between the dilepton emission angles and the event plane angles of charged hadrons. We observe strong fluctuation effects in dilepton elliptic flows when using the event plane angles of dileptons at specific invariant mass . The correlation between the dilepton event plane angle and charged hadron one becomes stronger with decreasing . This provides a possible measure of the interplay between the effect of geometric deformation and that of fluctuating "hot spots" in relativistic heavy ion collisions.
