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

Differential gen function are evaluated using several interpolation points in the complex plane

SLIDE 11

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
