Abstract
We propose Elliptic Power and Power parameterizations for the probability distribution of initial state anisotropies in heavy-ion collisions. By assuming a linear eccentricity scaling, the new parameterizations can also be applied to fluctuations of harmonic flow. In particular, we analyze flow multi-particle cumulants and event-by-event distributions, both of which are recently measured at the LHC.
