Nonflow "factorization" and a novel method to disentangle anisotropic flow and nonflow

preprint2012arXivOpen access

Abstract

Presently flow and nonflow cannot be separated experimentally. Using Pythia simulations of p+p collisions we show that nonflow approximately factorizes. This fact may be used to disentangle flow and nonflow in heavy ion data by performing a two-component factorization fit to Fourier coefficients of two-particle correlations.
