Flow harmonics in heavy ion physics at CMS and ATLAS

Nuclear Experiment 2021-05-18 v1

Abstract

How can we gain a detailed insight into the hydrodynamic response of the system created in heavy ion collisions to the fluctuating initial geometry and viscous effects? Do we create a strongly interacting medium in proton-nucleus and proton-proton collisions, or rather a system of partons undergoing few scatterings? To what extent can we discriminate between initial momentum correlations and flow generated as a response to the initial geometry via interactions in the final state? Do measurements of identified particle flow confirm the observations from inclusive charged hadrons? An experimental overview of anisotropic flow measurements, ranging from large down to the smallest collision systems, is given in these proceedings.
