The first longitudinal coefficient a1 as a function of <dNch/deta> in Xe-Xe collisions at √sNN = 5.44 TeV, compared between data and MC HIJING. Charge conservation effects studied with charged, and positive and negative only tracks. Statistical and systematic uncertainties are included.

Detail description

The first longitudinal coefficient a1 as a function of <dNch/deta> in Xe-Xe collisions at √sNN = 5.44 TeV (LHC17n), compared between data and MC HIJING. a1 was computed EbyE using Legendre polynomial decomposition. The values used for <dNch/deta> are published values from ALICE (arXiv:1805.04432). Statistical and systematic uncertainties are included. Systematic errors are averaged along centrality. Systematic errors in Xe-Xe data are assigned from Pb-Pb data systematic errors.
