Extracting the dependence of directed flow differences on conserved charges

Recently, seven produced hadron species have been used to construct multiple hadron sets with given differences in the net electric charge (∆q) and strangeness (∆S) between the two sides. A nonzero directed flow difference △v1 has been proposed as a consequence of the electromagnetic field produced...

description Recently, seven produced hadron species have been used to construct multiple hadron sets with given differences in the net electric charge (∆q) and strangeness (∆S) between the two sides. A nonzero directed flow difference △v1 has been proposed as a consequence of the electromagnetic field produced in relativistic heavy ion collisions. Previously, we have shown with quark coalescence that Av1 and the slope difference △v′1 depend linearly on both △q and ∆S with zero intercept. Here we emphasize that a two-dimensional function or fit is necessary for extracting the △q- and △S-dependences of △v1. On the other hand, a one-dimensional fit gives a different value for the slope parameter of the ∆q- or ∆S-dependence. Furthermore, a one-dimensional fit is incorrect because its slope parameter depends on the arbitrary scaling factor of a hadron set and is thus ill-defined. We use test data of △v1 to explicitly demonstrate these points.
