EP v2
- HF EP in final results : larger rapidity gap ∆η ≥ 2

EP efficiency corrections
- No efficiency correction for the differential v2(pt)
- To obtain integrated v2 at mid rapidity and v2(η), first the
differential v2(pt) is measured in bins of ∆η = 0.4 – then integrated in the range 0.3 < pt < 3 GeV/c
- No fake track v2 correction in preliminary v2(pt) results – a
correction is being implemented for the final results to reduce the low-pt systematic uncertainty

Cumulants (I)
- Cumulants are obtained using generating functions
Julia Velkovska (Vanderbilt) CMS flow measurements: LHC flow WG, August 2011
10
Differential gen function are evaluated using several interpolation points in the complex plane
Cumulants details of analysis (II)
- Results obtained in 5% centrality bins : averaged to get 40-50%,etc
- Fixed multiplicity: M = <M> -2σ : σ is r.m.s. of the multiplicity
distribution for that centrality interval
- 21 Interpolation points in the complex plane 3 values for r0 and 7 for
the phase, p:
r0 – radius determined from the multiplicity and the number of events in each centrality class. Varied for systematic studies
- To avoid auto-correlations , the particles used for determining
differential flow are excluded from the integrated flow calculation
- Track-by-track efficiency correction applied as a weight in
the gen function

Summary of changes for final results
- Vn from EP
- Using HF EP with large rapidity gap
- Rapidity gaps in cumulant analysis
- Improved track selections + corrections for fake
track v2 at low-pt
- Improved statistics ( ~ factor of 10)
- Reduced systematic uncertainties
