Event Shape Sorting: prospects and femtoscopy applications

Abstract

We demonstrate the use of Event Shape Sorting in femtoscopy. The method allows to select events with similar distributions if hadrons in azimuthal angle. We show that also their correlation radii exhibit interesting dependence on azimuthal angle with anisotropies of different orders visible at the same time. We further demonstrate such features of the hadron distribution which can be hardly recognised by Event Shape Engineering, but shows up in Event Shape Sorting. Finally, the influence of statistical fluctuations on sorting is investigated.
