Abstract: (arXiv)
Monte Carlo simulations are used to compute the centrality dependence of the odd moments of the initial eccentricity , relative to the even order (n) participant planes in Au+Au collisions. The results obtained for two models of the eccentricity -- the Glauber and the factorized Kharzeev-Levin-Nardi (fKLN) models -- indicate magnitudes which are essentially zero. They suggest that a possible correlation between the orientations of the the odd and even participant planes ( and respectively), do not have a significant influence on the calculated eccentricities. An experimental verification test for correlations between the orientations of the the odd and even participant planes is also proposed.Note:
