A New Baseline Subtraction Method for Di-hadron Correlations in High-multiplicity Small System Collisions
Tóm tắt
Azimuthal anisotropy in high-multiplicity small system collisions is often quantified by the harmonic modulations cn = ‹cos (nΔφ)› in di-hadron azimuthal correlations, with a non-flow baseline subtraction using correlation functions in low-multiplicity events. We present mathematical evaluations for three different baseline subtraction methods; i) the template fit method, ii) the reference fit method, and iii) the c1 scaling method. We describe conceptual differences among the three methods. These methods are compared and examined using a toy Monte Carlo model with various realistic cn values implemented in high-multiplicity events. Our results show the reference fit method is more stable than the template fit method because the reference fit does not estimate the flow yield. On the other hand, the template fit method can evaluate the flow effect reasonably, for the case where the flow does not contain c1 factor.
