Non-linear flow response and reaction plane correlations

Abstract

We apply the non-linear flow response formalism to the recently measured event plane correlations. We find that as a result of the combined effects of linear and non-linear flow response, the observed event plane correlations can be understood as an effective average of the 'linear limit' and 'non-linear limit'.
