QM’06 PHOBOSPHOBOS Physics for QM06
• New Analyses:– Elliptic flow fluctuations– Two particle correlations
• Extended Analyses:– Elliptic flow in Cu+Cu– Charged particle multiplicity– Anti-particle/particle ratios
• QM06 Primary Message:
PHOBOS has measured large dynamical v2 fluctuations in 200 GeV Au+Au collisions. This suggests that the initial state thermalizes very rapidly, taking a detailed snapshot, which is propagated by the subsequent hydrodynamic evolution.

Track-based method: Robustness of Measurements of vTrack-based method: Robustness of Measurements of v22 vs. p vs. pTT The large separation on between the reaction plane subevents and the measured
region reduces the non-flow correlations in track-based (hit-based) method.
