Abstract:Année de publication : 2001
We have recently proposed a new method of flow analysis, based on a cumulant expansion of multiparticle azimuthal correlations. Here, we describe the practical implementation of the method. The major improvement over traditional methods is that the cumulant expansion eliminates order by order correlations not due to flow, which are often large but usually neglected.
