ΔV{2} fit:

  0-20% 20-30% 30-40% 40-50% 50-80%
v2
v3

Fit function for D = a exp(-Δη/b)+A exp(- Δη'2/2σ2)

Fit parameters vs Centrality classes:



ΔV{4} fit:

D and σ'

How do D and σ' calculate?

D: the average of all the points in 2D histogram

σ':
1. get slope in ΔV{4} fit = k*(Δη1-Δη2).
2. σ'(Δη)=k(2-|Δη|) = k(2-|ηαβ|)
3.<σ'>= Integral σ'(ηα from -1 to 1, ηβ from -1 to 1)  / 4
σ'(ηα)=1/2 (3k-k ηα2)
<σ'>=4/3 k

V{2}, V{4}, D, σ' vs Centrality

σ' / <v> vs Centrality


Black: with sigma' and D subtracted
Blue: with D subtracted
Green: without subtraction

Only black one has sys. err. as grey band.
Others only plot stat. err.
