v4, v5, v6, v7: Nonlinear hydrodynamic response versus LHC data

Higher harmonics of anisotropic flow (vn with n≥4) in heavy-ion collisions can be measured either with respect to their own plane, or with respect to a plane constructed using lower-order harmonics. We explain how such measurements are related to event-plane correlations. We show that CMS data on v4...
