S.A. Voloshin School of Collective Dynamics in High Energy Collisions, LBNL, May 19-27, 2005page3 End of the ideal world: “Non-flow”, flow fluctuations, … “ Non-flow” – azimuthal correlations of any other origin except the correlation with respect to the reaction plane. It combines the possible contributions from resonance decay, inter and intra jet correlations, etc. An example: Flow   “non-flow” Effect of flow fluctuations Other possibilities fro flow fluctuations: fluctuation in the initial geometry, in multiplicity at the same geometry, etc. Not perfect azimuthal acceptance  not flat Event Plane distribution. “Flattening of the reaction plane”. Approximate and exact solutions to the problem. Each one by itself presents little problem, but taken at the same time, it is the major problem we fight during the last years.

S.A. Voloshin School of Collective Dynamics in High Energy Collisions, LBNL, May 19-27, 2005page7 Azimuthal correlation in pp collisions Goals (from “flow” point of view): 1.Check if non-flow estimates/measurements reported for Au+Au are consistent with measurements in pp. (One could expect the difference of the order of factor of <~2. Examples: Extra particles in jets  non-flow contribution increases B-to-B jet suppression – non-flow goes down) 2.Use pp data to estimate non-flow effects in Au+Au in the regions where other methods do not work well (e.g. high p t region; Kaon and Lambda flow, etc. )

S.A. Voloshin School of Collective Dynamics in High Energy Collisions, LBNL, May 19-27, 2005page8 Scalar product method and pp vs. AA Notations: Flow in a particular p t /eta “bin” Average flow in the pt/eta region used to define RP (or “pool” of particles) Azimuthal correlations in pp ( ) Non-flow part in 2-part azimuthal correlation in AA Number of “independent NN collisions”, a la N part /2. Non-flow looks exactly the same in pp and AA  Results - directly “correctible”. Consider correlations of particles from some “bin” with all particles from a “pool”

S.A. Voloshin School of Collective Dynamics in High Energy Collisions, LBNL, May 19-27, 2005page9 pp vs. AA The plot above, showing the rise and fall of azimuthal correlations ( M ) can be explained only by flow: no any other known source of the azimuthal correlation is able to give such a dependence. The origin of such a dependence: ~ M *  STAR Preliminary Most peripheral 5% central 0 p t 7 GeV M<~10 M>~500

S.A. Voloshin School of Collective Dynamics in High Energy Collisions, LBNL, May 19-27, 2005page10 Final results: pp & AuAu pp (non-flow) AuAu (flow + non-flow) In VERY peripheral collisions, azimuthal correlation in AuAu are dominated by non-flow. At high p t in central collisions, azimuthal correlation in AuAu could be dominated by nonflow. It does not mean that v 2 is zero!

S.A. Voloshin School of Collective Dynamics in High Energy Collisions, LBNL, May 19-27, 2005page14 Non-flow or Fluctuations? Correct if v is constant in the event sample Should be used even in a case of  =0 Several reasons for v to fluctuate in a centrality bin: 1)Variation in impact parameter (taken out in STAR 130 GeV PRC flow paper) 2)Real flow fluctuations (due to fluctuations in initial conditions or in system evolution) Non-flow Flow fluctuations In this approximation, v is between v{4} and (v{2}+v{4})/2.
