Azimuthal anisotropies of charged particles with high transverse momentum in Pb+Pb collisions at √𝑠NN=5.02 TeV with the ATLAS detector

A measurement is presented of elliptic (𝑣2) and triangular (𝑣3) azimuthal anisotropy coefficients for charged particles produced in Pb+Pb collisions at √𝑠NN=5.02 TeV using a dataset corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 0.44nb−1 collected with the ATLAS detector at the LHC in 2018. The values...

Description
Summary:A measurement is presented of elliptic (𝑣2) and triangular (𝑣3) azimuthal anisotropy coefficients for charged particles produced in Pb+Pb collisions at √𝑠NN=5.02 TeV using a dataset corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 0.44nb−1 collected with the ATLAS detector at the LHC in 2018. The values of 𝑣2 and 𝑣3 are measured for charged particles over a wide range of transverse momentum (𝑝T), 1-400 GeV, and Pb+Pb collision centrality, 0-60%, using the scalar-product and multiparticle cumulant methods. These methods are sensitive to event-by-event fluctuations and nonflow effects in the measurements of azimuthal anisotropies. Positive values of 𝑣2 are observed up to a 𝑝T of approximately 100 GeV from both methods across all centrality intervals. Positive values of 𝑣3 are observed up to approximately 25 GeV using both methods, though the application of the three-subevent technique to the multiparticle cumulant method leads to significant changes at the highest 𝑝T. At high 𝑝T (𝑝T⪆10 GeV), charged particles are dominantly from jet fragmentation. These jets, and hence the measurements presented here, are sensitive to the path-length dependence of parton energy loss in the quark-gluon plasma produced in Pb+Pb collisions.
