Flow measurements at LHCb

The unique geometry and tracking performance of the LHCb detector make it well suited for studying particle correlations in heavy-ion collisions. In particular, it enables measurements of long-range correlations, which serve as probes hydrodynamic behavior, as well as femtoscopic effects such as those arising from Bose-Einstein correlations. The use of asymmetric proton-lead collisions, in both forward (pPb) and backward (Pbp) configurations, provides sensitivity to both initial-state effects, through the two distinct Bjorken-x regions, and final-state effects in particle correlations. These studies also give access to the space-time characteristics of the particle-emitting sources.

Abstract

The unique geometry and tracking performance of the LHCb detector make it well suited for studying particle correlations in heavy-ion collisions. In particular, it enables measurements of long-range correlations, which serve as probes hydrodynamic behavior, as well as femtoscopic effects such as those arising from Bose-Einstein correlations. The use of asymmetric proton-lead collisions, in both forward (pPb) and backward (Pbp) configurations, provides sensitivity to both initial-state effects, through the two distinct Bjorken-x regions, and final-state effects in particle correlations. These studies also give access to the space-time characteristics of the particle-emitting sources.
