The decorrelation signal for v(3) and v(4) is found to be nearly independent of collision centrality and transverse momentum (p(T)) requirements on fmal-state particles, but for v(2) a strong centrality and p(T) dependence is seen. When compared with the results from Pb + Pb collisions at. root s(NN) = 5.02 TcV, the longitudinal decorrelation signal in midcentral Xe + Xe collisions is found to be larger for v(2), but smaller for v(3). Current hydrodynamic models reproduce the ratios of the v(n) measured in Xe + Xe collisions to those in Pb + Pb collisions but fail to describe the magnitudes and trends of the ratios of longitudinal flow decorrelations between Xe + Xe and Pb + Pb. The results on the system-size dependence provide new insights and an important lever arm to separate effects of the longitudinal structure of the initial state from other early and late time effects in heavy-ion collisions.", optnote="WOS:000651646900004", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=4825), last updated on Wed, 26 May 2021 16:35:50 +0000", issn="0031-9007", doi="10.1103/PhysRevLett.126.122301", opturl="https://arxiv.org/abs/2001.04201", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevLett.126.122301", language="English" }
