Összefoglaló:
Recently, event shape observables such as transverse spherocity, has been studied successfully in small collision systems at the LHC as a tool to separate jetty and isotropic events. In this work, we have performed an extensive study of charged particles' azimuthal anisotropy in heavy-ion collisions as a function of spherocity for the first time using a multi-phase transport (AMPT) model. We have used the two-particle correlation (2PC) method to estimate the elliptic flow for different centrality classes in Pb-Pb collisions at sNN−−−√=5.02 TeV for high spherocity, spherocity-integrated and low spherocity events. It is found that transverse spherocity successfully differentiates heavy-ion collisions’ event topology based on their geometrical shapes i.e. high and low values of spherocity. The high-spherocity events are found to have nearly zero elliptic flow while the low spherocity events contribute significantly to elliptic flow of spherocity-integrated events. In the absence of experimental explorations in this direction, we have implemented the ML-based regression technique via Gradient Boosting Decision Trees (GBDTs) to estimate spherocity distributions in Pb-Pb collisions at 5.02 TeV c.m. energy by training the model with experimentally available event properties. This ML-model also estimates the impact parameter in heavy-ion collisions. Throughout this work, we have used final state observables as the input to the ML-model, which could be easily made available from collision data. Our method seems to work quite well as we see a good agreement between the simulated true values and the predicted values from the ML-model.
