Phenomenological study on correlation between flow harmonics and mean transverse momentum in nuclear collisions

To assess the properties of the quark-gluon plasma formed in nuclear collisions, the Pearson correlation coefficient between flow harmonics and mean transverse momentum, $rholeft(v_{n}^{2},left[p_{mathrm{T}}right]right)$, reflecting the overlapped geometry of colliding atomic nuclei, is measured. $rholeft(v_{2}^{2},left[p_{mathrm{T}}right]right)$ was found to be particularly sensitive to the quadrupole deformation of the nuclei. We study the influence of the nuclear quadrupole deformation on $rholeft(v_{n}^{2},left[p_{mathrm{T}}right]right)$ in $rm{Au+Au}$ and $rm{U+U}$ collisions at RHIC energy using $rm{AMPT}$ transport model, and show that the $rholeft(v_{2}^{2},left[p_{mathrm{T}}right]right)$ is reduced by the prolate deformation $beta_2$ and turns to change sign in ultra-central collisions (UCC).
