Abstract
The anisotropic flow ($v_n$) in relaitvistic heavy ion collisions arises due to the initial spatial anisotropy ($\varepsilon_n$) of the overlapping zone between the two colliding nuclei. The linear correlation between $\varepsilon_{n}$ and $v_{n}$ for small n is a quantitative measure of the efficiency of conversion of the initial spatial anisotropy to the final momentum anisotropy. We study the collision centrality, transverse momentum ($p_{T}$) and collision energy dependence of this correlation for charged particles using a hydrodynamical model framework. The $p_{T}$ dependent correlation coefficient is found to be strongly dependent on the mass as well as $p_{T}$ of the emitted particles. We also study $p_{T}$ dependent relative fluctuation in anisotropic flow and show that it is sensitive to the value of $\eta/s$ specially in low $p_{T}$ region. In addition, we study the sensitivity of the correlation coefficient to the fluctuation size parameter.

Metadata are provided both in "article" format (very similar to INSPIRE) as this helps creating very compact bibliographies which can be beneficial to authors and readers, and in "proceeding" format which is more detailed and complete.
