Abstract
A data-driven method was applied to measurements of Au+Au collisions at √sNN = 200 GeV made with the STAR detector at RHIC to isolate pseu- dorapidity distance ∆η-dependent and ∆η-independent correlations by using two- and four-particle azimuthal cumulant measurements. We identified a component of the correlation that is ∆η-independent, which is likely dom- inated by anisotropic flow and flow fluctuations. It was also found to be independent of η within the measured range of pseudorapidity |η| < 1. The relative flow fluctuation was found to be 34%±2%(stat.)±3%(sys.) for parti- cles of transverse momentum pT less than 2 GeV/c. The ∆η-dependent part may be attributed to nonflow correlations, and is found to be 5% ± 2%(sys.) relative to the flow of the measured second harmonic cumulant at |∆η| > 0.7.
