abstract
Anisotropic flow measurements in heavy-ion collisions provide important information on the properties of hot and dense matter. These measurements are based on analysis of azimuthal correlations and might be biased by contributions from correlations that are not related to the initial geometry, so called non-flow. To improve anisotropic flow measurements advanced methods based on multi-particle correlations (cumulants) have been developed to suppress non-flow contribution. These multi-particle correlations can be calculated by looping over all possible multiplets, however this quickly becomes prohibitively CPU intensive. Therefore, the most used technique for cumulant calculations is based on generating functions. This method involves approximations, and has its own biases, which complicates the interpretation of the results. In this paper we present a new exact method for direct calculations of multi-particle cumulants using moments of the flow vectors.

First measurements of v_n (n=2-4) in 5.36 TeV O+O and Ne+Ne collisions show enhanced v2 in central neon collisions consistent with prolate nuclear deformation.
New precision v2 measurements show NCQ scaling holds for multi-strange hadrons down to 7.7 GeV, supporting partonic origin of elliptic flow with minimal late-stage distortion.
Species-resolved scaling functions for azimuthal anisotropy from iEBE-VISHNU simulations of Pb+Pb collisions collapse robustly across kinematics and species, enabling constraints on attenuation, collective expansion, and hadronic re-scattering via an energy-dependent baseline.
Toy models show multi-particle correlators can increase rather than reduce deviation from true flow harmonics in small collision systems.
AMPT simulations show the ratio of nonlinear response coefficients between U+U and Au+Au collisions remains stable across evolution stages, isolating initial geometric correlations.
Predictions for collective flow in O-O collisions at 5.36 TeV are generated with SMASH-vHLLE hybrid, pure SMASH, and Angantyr models to probe the onset of QGP formation in small systems.
