Abstract

In event by event hydrodynamic model, we have simulated 30-40% Au+Au collisions at RHIC and computed the slope parameter from the invariant pion distribution. In each event, the slope parameter fluctuates azimuthally. Fourier expansion coefficients T_n for the slope parameter and the Fourier expansion coefficients v_n for the azimuthal distribution (dN)/(dϕ) are found to be strongly correlated. Strong correlation between the two expansion coefficients suggests that in addition to azimuthal distribution, fluctuations in the slope parameter of the invariant distribution can as well be used to study the final state momentum anisotropy in relativistic energy heavy ion collisions. If measured experimentally, they can serve as additional constraint for hydrodynamical modeling.
