Collective flow in 2.76 A TeV and 5.02 A TeV Pb+Pb collisions


Abstract in English

In this paper, we study and predict flow observables in 2.76 A TeV and 5.02 A TeV Pb +Pb collisions, using the iEBE-VISHNU hybrid model with TRENto and AMPT initial conditions and with different forms of the QGP transport coefficients. With properly chosen and tuned parameter sets, our model calculations can nicely describe various flow observables in 2.76 A TeV Pb +Pb collisions, as well as the measured flow harmonics of all charged hadrons in 5.02 A TeV Pb +Pb collisions. We also predict other flow observables, including $v_n(p_T)$ of identified particles, event-by-event $v_n$ distributions, event-plane correlations, (Normalized) Symmetric Cumulants, non-linear response coefficients and $p_T$-dependent factorization ratios, in 5.02 A TeV Pb+Pb collisions. We find many of these observables remain approximately the same values as the ones in 2.76 A TeV Pb+Pb collisions. Our theoretical studies and predictions could shed light to the experimental investigations in the near future.
