Anisotropic flow fluctuations in hydro-inspired freeze-out model for relativistic heavy ion collisions

Understand

The LHC data on event-by-event harmonic flow coefficients measured in PbPb collisions at center-of-mass energy 2.76 TeV per nucleon pair are analyzed and interpreted within the HYDJET++ model.

• To compare the model results with the experimental data the unfolding procedure is employed.
• The essentially dynamical origin of the flow fluctuations in hydro-inspired freeze-out approach has been established.
• It is shown that the simple modification of the model via introducing the distribution over spatial anisotropy parameters permits HYDJET++ to reproduce both elliptic and triangular flow fluctuations and related to it eccentricity fluctuations of the initial state at the LHC energy.
