Hydrodynamical analysis of centrality dependence of charged particle's multiplicity in sNN\sqrt{s}_{NN}=2.76 TeV Pb+Pb collisions

preprint2011arXivOpen access

Abstract

In Israel-Stewart's theory of dissipative hydrodynamics, we have analyzed the recent ALICE data for the centrality dependence of charged particle multiplicity, centrality dependence of integrated elliptic flow and 0-5% charged particles pTp_T spectra in sNN\sqrt{s}_{NN}=2.76 TeV Pb+Pb collisions and determined the initial or the thermalisation time. Analysis indicate that the ALICE data disfavor very early thermalsiation τiτ_i=0.2 fm, or very late thermalsation τiτ_i= 4fm. Data are best explained for thermalisation time τi=0.88+0.68−0.14τ_i=0.88^{-0.14}_{+0.68} fm.
