Understanding event-shape fluctuations via flow correlations in heavy-ion collisions at LHC

COFFEE_KLATCH · Invited

Abstract

I will review the current experimental measurements of the event-by-event flow and its relation to the event-shape fluctuations in the initial state. I will discuss new types of event-shape fluctuations that should be measurable in heavy ion collisions at LHC.
