Title: Phenomenological study on correlation between flow harmonics and mean transverse momentum in nuclear collisions

Abstract

To assess the properties of the quark-gluon plasma formed in nuclear collisions, the Pearson correlation coefficient between flow harmonics and mean transverse momentum, \rho\left(v_{n}^{2},\left[p_{\mathrm{T}}\right]\right) ρ ( v n 2 , [ p T ] ) , reflecting the overlapped geometry of colliding atomic nuclei, is measured. \rho\left(v_{2}^{2},\left[p_{\mathrm{T}}\right]\right) ρ ( v 2 2 , [ p T ] ) was found to be particularly sensitive to the quadrupole deformation of the nuclei. We study the influence of the nuclear quadrupole deformation on \rho\left(v_{n}^{2},\left[p_{\mathrm{T}}\right]\right) ρ ( v n 2 , [ p T ] ) in Au+Au and U+U collisions at RHIC energy using AMPT transport model, and show that the \rho\left(v_{2}^{2},\left[p_{\mathrm{T}}\right]\right) ρ ( v 2 2 , [ p T ] ) is reduced by the quadrupole deformation \beta_2 β 2 and turns to change sign in ultra-central collisions (UCC).
