Hydrodynamical response of plane correlation in Pb+Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_\text{NN}}$=2.76 TeV

Abstract: In high energy heavy-ion collisions, the final anisotropic flow coefficients and their corresponding event-plane correlations are considered as the medium evolutional response to the initial geometrical eccentricities and their corresponding participant-plane correlations. We formulate a systematic theoretical analysis to study the hydrodynamical responses concerning higher order effects in Pb+Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_\text{NN}}=2.76$ TeV by using Monte Carlo Glauber (MC-Glauber) model. To further understand the transformations of the initial participant-plane correlation, we construct a new set of events which randomize the directions of the initial participant planes of the original events. Our results indicate that the final strong event-plane correlations are mainly transformed from the large initial eccentricities, rather than the strong participant-plane correlations. However, the large flow coefficients and the discrepancies between the flow coefficients calculated by the single-shot and event-by-event simulations in peripheral collisions are relevant to those strong initial participant-plane correlations.
