Check factorization 2PC vn
Factorization works well for n=2-6 Break down of v1,1 is due to global momentum conservation

Reconstruct 2PC via single particle vn
“ridge” and “cone” reproduced by the single particle vn. They are consequences of global event properties –not due to jet fragmentation!!

CMB is dominated by dipole component from Doppler shift of observer.

Extracted v1(pT)
Significant v1 values observed: pT dependence similar to other vn

Reaction Plane correlations
Further insights can be obtained by studying correlations between the n:
The procedure can be generalized to measure correlations involving three or more planes:
One way to think of the three-plane correlations is as combination of two plane correlations
• 246 =4262• 246 =4262• Thus three plane correlations are the correlation of two angles relative to the third.

Open heavy flavor production measured via c,bμ±. Probing jet quenching of the c/b jets
Expect less quenching than light quark jet and gluon jet. But no difference seen between heavy and light jet fragments at RHIC.

‣ Error bars: sqrt of diagonal elements of covariance matrix
‣ Systematic errors • Black band: fully correlated • Red boxes: partially correlated
Jet suppression vs radius
Evaluate jet radius dependence of Rcp correlated error cancels in the ratio
Modest but significant increase for larger R broadening?

Jet suppression vs radius
Evaluate jet radius dependence of Rcp correlated error cancels in the ratio Modest but significant increase for larger R broadening? Models predicting strong R dependence ruled out.
31
Modification of jet shape?
pT cut to suppress underlying event, bg subtracted. No strong modification of jet fragmentation between central
and peripheral collisions. Suggest energy lost by jet appears at large angle wrt jet axis
32
Eletro-weak probes Isolated gamma, Z/W yield are not expected to be modified at final state, but can be affected by nuclear pdf
(shadowing, isospin etc) However low pT gamma (upto 50 GeV) might be generated by the QCD matter.
Important baseline for jet quenching measurement Unbiased tagging on away-side color probes : γ-jet, Z-jet etc.

Summary
Flow coefficients vn and Φn correlations probe the geometry of the created matter and subsequent hydrodynamic evolution .
Significant harmonic flow measured for v1-v6constraints on viscosity.
Factorization from vn,n to vn valid for n=2-6non-flow is small.
v1,1 is consistent with dipolar flow v1 plus global momentum conservation. Naturally explains the exotic ridge and cone-like structures in 2PC Correlation between flow angle Φn probes into dynamics of hydro-evolution
Jet quenching of color probes provides insight on energy loss Single particle/jet suppression consistent with radiative energy loss Energy lost by jets seems to be redistributed to large angle. Heavy flavor jet suppression seems to be similar to light flavor.
Electro-weak probes constrains the initial condition Effect of nuclear pdf and other initial state effects are small Jet suppressions are mostly due to final state effects
