Principal component analysis of collective flow in relativistic heavy-ion collisions

Abstract In this paper, we implement principal component analysis (PCA) to study the single particle distributions generated from thousands of $$\mathtt {VISH2+1}$$ VISH2+1 hydrodynamic simulations with an aim to explore if a machine could directly discover flow from the huge amount of data without...
