摘要
We use a simple a transverse radial boost scenario coupled to PYTHIA events to illustrate the impact radial flow may have of two- and three-particle correlation functions measured in heavy-ion collisions. We show that modest radial velocities can impart strong modifications to the correlation functions, some of which may be interpreted as same side ridge and away side structure that can mimic conical emission.
