• Previous picture; Assumed a “reaction plane” defined by impact parameter vector and beam axis vector

• Recent picture; Higher harmonic deformation due to fluctuations of collision geometryDeformation transferred to momentum space by

collective expansion → higher harmonic flow(vn)

Backgrounds from vn in 2 particle correlations

• Backgrounds from vn

vn (especially v3) subtraction reduce “Ridge” and “Shoulder”

vn subtractions help to see more “real” correlation shape

26 Mar. 2012

Ridge

Phys. Rev. C 80, 064912 (2009)

Ridge : near side long range correlations

Shoulder: double hump at away side of correlations (also long in )

• Shoulder is described by vn in central collisions

• Shoulder is still seen in mid-central collisions

Physics Motivations

• vn subtracted correlations still show double-hump structure in ways side in mid-central collisionsAverage of jets flying to various direction in bulk

• Detailed survey of away side peaksTwo particle correlations with trigger selection relative

Analysis Overview

• vn measurements Forward Event Plane(RXN) - Charged Hadrons in mid-rapidity

- To exclude autocorrelations by jet

• Selection of Trigger Directions Forward Event Plane(RXN)-Charged Hadron Trigger in mid-rapidity

• 2 particle charged hadron correlations in azimuth Mid-rapidity Trigger – Mid-rapidity Associate, pT : 2-4 & 1-2 [GeV/c]

• Subtract vn modulated backgrounds by ZYAM Method
