摘要
We introduce a cumulant expansion to parametrize possible initial conditions in relativistic heavy ion collisions. We show that the cumulant expansion converges and that it can systematically reproduce the results of Glauber type initial conditions. At third order in the gradient expansion the cumulants characterize the triangularity < r(3) cos 3(phi - psi(3,3))> and the dipole asymmetry < r(3) cos(phi -psi(1,3))> of the initial entropy distribution. We show that for midperipheral collisions the orientation angle of the dipole asymmetry psi(1,3) has a 20% preference out of plane. This leads to a small net upsilon(1) out of plane. In peripheral and midcentral collisions the orientation angles psi(1,3) and psi(3,3) are strongly correlated, but this correlation disappears towards central collisions. We study the ideal hydrodynamic response to these cumulants and determine the associated upsilon(1)/epsilon(1) and upsilon(3)/epsilon(3) for a massless ideal gas equation of state. The space time development of upsilon(1) and upsilon(3) is clarified with figures. These figures show that upsilon(1) and upsilon(3) develop toward the edge of the nucleus, and consequently the final spectra are more sensitive to the viscous dynamics of freezeout. The hydrodynamic calculations for upsilon(3) are provisionally compared to Alver and Roland fit of STAR inclusive two-particle correlation functions. Finally, we propose to measure the upsilon(1) associated with the dipole asymmetry and the correlations between psi(1,3) and psi(3,3) by measuring a two-particle correlation with respect to the participant plane < cos(phi(alpha) - 3 phi(beta) + 2 Psi(PP))>. The hydrodynamic prediction for this correlation function is several times larger than a correlation currently measured by the STAR collaboration < cos(phi(alpha) + phi(beta) - 2 Psi(PP))>. This experimental measurement would provide convincing evidence for the hydrodynamic and geometric interpretation of two-particle correlations at RHIC.
