Three-particle correlation from glasma flux tubes

TL;DR

This paper calculates three-particle correlations within the Glasma flux tube model for high energy heavy ion collisions, providing a geometric interpretation and predictions for experimental observations when combined with radial flow.

Contribution

It introduces a simple geometric framework for three-particle correlations in the Glasma flux tube model and predicts their behavior in central heavy ion collisions.

Findings

Correlations can be described by a geometric picture.

Radial flow influences the near side three-particle correlation.

Predictions align with experimental observations in heavy ion collisions.

Abstract

We compute three particle correlations in the Glasma flux tube model of high energy heavy ion collisions. We obtain a simple geometrical picture of these correlations; when convoluted with final state radial flow, it results in distinct predictions for the near side three particle correlation in central heavy ion collisions.
