Event-by-Event Fluctuations of Azimuthal Particle Anisotropy in Au+Au Collisions at [sqrt]sNN=200  GeV

Event-by-Event Fluctuations of Azimuthal Particle Anisotropy in Au+Au Collisions at [sqrt]sNN=200  GeV

This Letter presents the first measurement of event-by-event fluctuations of the elliptic flow parameter v2 in Au+Au collisions at [sqrt]sNN=200  GeV as a function of collision centrality. The relative nonstatistical fluctuations of the v2 parameter are found to be approximately 40%. The results, in...
