【 摘 要 】
In recent years, the measurement of harmonic flow coefficients vnhas provided important insight into the hot and dense matter created in heavy ion collisions at RHIC and LHC. These coefficients are now understood to reflect the hydrodynamic response of the produced medium to the collision geometry. Due to finite number of nucleons in the system, the collision geometry can fluctuate from one event to another, and hence measuring the full distribution of the event-by-event vncoefficients can provide better insights on the nature of these fluctuations and possible non-linear effects in the hydrodynamic response. This proceeding presents the first measurements of the event-by-event vndistributions for n=2-4 in Pb-Pb collisions at 2.76 TeV with the ATLAS detector.
