EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Kurtosis of elliptic flow fluctuations

Rajeev S. Bhalerao, Giuliano Giacalone, and Jean-Yves Ollitrault

Phys. Rev. C 99, 014907 (2019) - Published 30 January, 2019

Kurtosis is a measure of non-Gaussian fluctuations which is highly sought after in fields such as cosmology and the early universe. The authors show that with future high-statistics experiments of heavy-ion collisions at the LHC, this observable could be applied to event-by-event fluctuations of elliptic flow—a measure of final-state anisotropy. It could be used to provide insightful tests of hydrodynamic behavior and the equation of state of quark-gluon plasma.
