Flow correlations probing intrinsic nuclear deformation

• Hadi Mehrabpour (Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz)

Collective behavior in many-body systems governed by the strong nuclear force can appear in all energy scales, and it plays an important role in our understanding of the phenomena of such complex systems. The correlations of nucleons in such collective systems lead to a range of fascinating structural properties, such as the deformation of nuclei from the spherical shape. In this talk, I would like to present my recent projects on flow analysis as a probe of nuclear deformation in high energy. I will review n-particle correlation functions and the form of flow probability distribution as two event-by-event flow fluctuation measurements. Then, I will explain their applications in symmetric ion collisions. Finally, I will briefly discuss asymmetric collisions to extract deformation effects analytically in Ultra-central collisions.
