Fluctuations of anisotropic flow in lead-lead collisions at LHC energies arising in HYDJET++model are studied. It is shown that intrinsic fluctuations of the flow which appear mainly because of the fluctuations of particle multiplicity, momenta and coordinates are insufficient to match the measured experimental data, provided the eccentricity of the freeze-out hypersurface is fixed at any given impact parameter b. However, when the variations of the eccentricity in HYDJET++ are taken into account, the agreement between the model results and the data is drastically improved. Both model calculations and the data are filtered through the unfolding procedure. This procedure eliminates the non-flow fluctuations to a higher degree, thus indicating a dynamical origin of the flow fluctuations in HYDJET++ event generator.
We apply HYDJET++ model, which contains the treatment of both soft and hard processes, to study the heavy-ion collisions at LHC energies. The interplay of parametrised hydrodynamics and jets describes many features of the development of particle anisotropic flow including the break-up of mass hierarchy of elliptic and triangular flow, the falloff of the flow at certain transverse momentum and violation of the number-ofconstituent- quark (NCQ) scaling at LHC energies compared to the lower ones. Other signals, such as long-range dihadron correlations (ridge) and event-by-event (EbyE) fluctuations of the flow are also discussed. Model calculations demonstrate a good agreement with the available experimental data.
