Description

The main purpose of the MPD experiment at NICA collider is to explore the QCD phase diagram of strongly interacting matter produced in nucleus-nucleus collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=4-11$ GeV. The anisotropic flow of produced particles is one of the important observables sensitive to the transport properties of such matter. The relative elliptic flow fluctuations are of intense interest since they can be used as a probe for the initial conditions using the ratio of cumulants $v_2\{4\}/v_2\{2\}$.
In this work, we study the magnitude of elliptic flow fluctuations characterized by the ratio of cumulants $v_2\{4\}/v_2\{2\}$ using the state-of-the-art models of heavy-ion collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=5-7$ GeV.
