Title: Correlation between mean transverse momentum and anisotropic flow in heavy-ion collisions

Journal Article · · Physical Review C

The correlation between the mean transverse momentum of outgoing particles, $$\langle{p_t}\rangle$$, and the magnitude of anisotropic flow, vn, has recently been measured in Pb+Pb collisions at the CERN Large Hadron Collider, as a function of the collision centrality. Here, we confirm the previous observation that event-by-event hydrodynamics predicts a correlation between vn and $$\langle{p_t}\rangle$$ that is similar to that measured in data. We show that the magnitude of this correlation can be directly predicted from the initial condition of the hydrodynamic calculation, for n = 2, 3, if one replaces vn by the corresponding initial-state anisotropy, εn, and $$\langle{p_t}\rangle$$ by the total energy per unit rapidity of the fluid at the beginning of the hydrodynamic expansion.
