摘要

Nuclear and High Energy Physics
The second and the third order anisotropic flow, V <sub>2</sub> and V <sub>3</sub> , are mostly determined by the corresponding initial spatial anisotropy coefficients, ε <sub>2</sub> and ε <sub>3</sub> , in the initial density distribution. In addition to their dependence on the same order initial anisotropy coefficient, higher order anisotropic flow, V <sub>n</sub> (n&null), can also have a significant contribution from lower order initial anisotropy coefficients, which leads to mode-coupling effects. In this Letter we investigate the linear and non-linear modes in higher order anisotropic flow V <sub>n</sub> for n=4, 5, 6 with the ALICE detector at the Large Hadron Collider. The measurements are done for particles in the pseudorapidity range |η|&null and the transverse momentum range 0.2&null <sub>T</sub> &null GeV/c as a function of collision centrality. The results are compared with theoretical calculations and provide important constraints on the initial conditions, including initial spatial geometry and its fluctuations, as well as the ratio of the shear viscosity to entropy density of the produced system.
