Anisotropic flow of Pb+Pb $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}$ = 5.02 TeV from A Multi-Phase Transport Model

Abstract: Anisotropic flow is an important observable in the study of the Quark-Gluon Plasma that is expected to be formed in heavy-ion collisions. With a multiphase transport (AMPT) model we investigate the elliptic($\emph{v}{2}$), triangular($\emph{v}{3}$), and quadrangular($\emph{v}{4}$) flow of charged particles in Pb+Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s{\rm NN}}$ = 5.02 TeV. Then We compare our flow results with the published ALICE flow results. We found our AMPT simulated results are consistent with ALICE experimental data.
