Azimuthally Differential Pion Femtoscopy in Pb-Pb Collisions at sNN =2.76 TeV
Author
Summary, in English
We present the first azimuthally differential measurements of the pion source size relative to the second harmonic event plane in Pb-Pb collisions at a center-of-mass energy per nucleon-nucleon pair of sNN=2.76 TeV. The measurements have been performed in the centrality range 0%-50% and for pion pair transverse momenta 0.2
