RESUMO

In this work we apply a hydrodynamic model with fluctuating initial conditions in a event by event basis to study some observables in relativistic heavy ion collisions. We show that the introduction of fluctuations, characterized by longitudinal high energy density tubes, turn the computation of the observables closer to data, in comparison to the traditional approach, in which the initial conditions are parametrized by using smooth and symmetrical functions. In the case of the transverse momentum distribution, we observe an enhancement of the number of particles in the region where p_t>2.0GeV, as a consequence of the fast expansion of the high energy density tubes, mainly the tubes that are close to the surface of the matter, called peripheral tubes. In the case of v_2 as a function of the transverse momentum, we observe a reduction of the elliptic flow at the same region, due to the isotropic expansion of the peripheral tubes. In the case of v_2 as a function of the pseudorapidity, we observe, by using the fluctuating initial conditions, a curve with a triangular shape very close to data. In the case of the two particle correlation function, we observed that the peripheral tubes give rise to the Ridge structures. These structures represent a long range correlation, in the longitudinal direction, between the trigger particles and the associated particles. We got a two particle correlation function with three Ridges, respectively, at the positions: \\Delta\\phi=0, \\Delta\\phi=2 and \\Delta\\phi=-2. In addition, we show that the model reproduces the in-plane/out-of-plane effect, which is related with the two particle correlation function dependence on the azimuthal angle of the momentum of the trigger particle. Generally, we observed that, with the proper adjustment of the parameters of the model, as, for example, the average initial energy density and the freeze-out temperature, all observables discussed in this thesis show a reasonable agreement with data.
