Anisotropic flow and other collective phenomena measured in Pb-Pb collisions with ALICE at the LHC

TL;DR

This paper reviews recent ALICE measurements of anisotropic flow and collective phenomena in Pb-Pb collisions at the LHC, highlighting various flow coefficients and local parity violation probes.

Contribution

It provides a comprehensive overview of anisotropic flow measurements and experimental probes of local parity violation in heavy-ion collisions at the LHC.

Findings

Measurement of directed, elliptic, triangular, and quadrangular flow coefficients.

Differential flow results as functions of transverse momentum, pseudo-rapidity, and centrality.

Evidence related to local parity violation through azimuthal correlations.

Abstract

Recent results of the anisotropic flow measurements by the ALICE Collaboration at the LHC are reviewed. Directed, elliptic, triangular, and quadrangular flow are presented differentially vs. transverse momentum, pseudo-rapidity, and the collision centrality for charged and identified particles. Experimental probes of local parity violation using the charge dependent azimuthal correlations with respect to the reaction plane are also discussed.
