We perform a Principal Component Analysis (PCA) of v3(pT ) in event- by-event hydrodynamic simulations of Pb+Pb collisions at the LHC. The PCA procedure identifies two dominant contributions to the two particle correlation function, which together capture 99.9% of the squared variance. We find that the subleading flow (which is the largest source of flow factor- ization breaking in...

Recent improvements in methods and algorithms as well as advances in
computing resources have enabled ever more precise studies of the QCD
finite temeperature transition and of properties of the quark-gluon plasma
using lattice gauge theory numerical simulations. In particular,
simulations at (almost) physical light quark masses allow for better
control of systematic errors. I review the...

Comparison of hydrodynamics calculations to heavy-ion experiments inevitably requires conversion of the fluid to particles ("particlization"). For fluids that are not in perfect local equilibrium, for example because they have nonzero viscosity, one needs a model that describes nonthermal "delta-f" corrections to the phase space density of particle species. In the case of shear viscous fluids,...
