1. Introduction

The observation of a strongly-coupled quark-gluon plasma (QGP), astate ofmattercomposed ofdeconfinedquarks and glu-ons, was established by experiments investigatingultrarelativistic heavy ioncollisions at the BNL RHIC [1–4] and CERN LHC [5,6]. The azimuthal particle correlationsconstitute an effectivetool to probethe propertiesoftheQGP [1–9].Thesecorrelationsare pa-rameterized by aFourier expansion [10–12],with themagnitude of the Fourier coefficients, vn, providing information about the initial collision geometry and its fluctuations [12]. The second-(v2) and third- (v3) order Fourier coefficients are referred to as “elliptic”and“triangular”flow harmonics,respectively.Measuring thesecoefficientsforparticlespecieswithdifferentquark compo-sition provides additional information about this hot and dense medium [13]. Because of their large mass, charm and bottom quarksareproducedearlierinthecollisions thanthelightquarks (upanddown) [14,15].Inaddition,thecharmandbottomquarks have massesmany timeslarger than the typical temperatures in theQGP [16].Theseheavyquarksexperiencethefullevolutionof themedium untilthehadronizationphase.Asaconsequence,the

pected to receive important contributions from medium energy lossandcoalescenceeffects [17,18].

In ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions, very strong and tran-sient (∼10−1 fm/c) magnetic andelectric fields are expected to beinduced bythecollision spectatorsandparticipants [19].Such electromagnetic(EM)fieldsare predictedto producea difference in the vn harmonics for positively and negatively charged parti-cles [19].Insuchapicture,themagneticfieldismainlyresponsible for splitting the rapidity ( y)-odd directed flow (v1) [19,20]. The electricfieldispredictedtoinduceacharge-dependentsplittingin the v2 coefficientandintheaveragetransversemomentum(pT) valuesoftheemittedparticles [19].Ascharmquarksareexpected tobecreatedveryearlyinthecollision,theyhaveahigher proba-bilityofinteractingwiththisstrongEMfield thanthelightflavor quarks [20,21].

In this letter, measurements of the v2 and v3 coefficients as functionsofD0 mesonrapidity, pT,andlead-lead (PbPb)collision centralityare presented.Thecollision centralitybins aregivenin percentagerangesofthetotalinelastichadroniccrosssection,with the 0–10% centrality bin corresponding to the 10% of collisions havingthe largestoverlapof thetwo nuclei. Theflow harmonics aremeasuredusingthescalarproductmethod [22,23].Inthis anal-ysis, the selection of D0 mesons uses multivariate methods [24] forselectingD0 candidatesandtheirantiparticles.The contamina-tionfromnonpromptD0candidates,arisingfromBmesondecay,is consideredasasystematicuncertainty.Usingthedatarecordedin PbPbcollisions duringthe2018LHCrunperiod,correspondingto

2. Experimentalapparatusanddatasample

The central feature of the CMS apparatus is a superconduct-ing solenoidof6 m internal diameter,providinga magneticfield of 3.8 T. Within the solenoid volume, there are four primary subdetectors including a silicon pixel and strip tracker detector, a lead tungstate crystalelectromagnetic calorimeter, and a brass and scintillator hadron calorimeter, each composed of a barrel andtwoendcapsections.Ironandquartz-fiberCherenkovhadron forward (HF) calorimeters cover the pseudorapidity range 2.9<

|η| <5.2.TheHFcalorimetersaresegmentedtoform0.175×0.175 (η×φ) towers. Muons are measured in gas-ionization detec-tors embedded inthesteelflux-returnyokeoutsidethesolenoid. The silicon tracker measures charged particles within the range

|η| <2.5.AdetaileddescriptionoftheCMSdetector,togetherwith a definitionofthecoordinatesystemusedandtherelevant kine-maticvariables,canbefoundinRef. [26].

Theanalysispresentedinthisletterusesapproximately4.27× 109minimumbias(MB)PbPbcollisioneventscollectedbytheCMS experimentduringthe2018LHCrun.TheMBeventsaretriggered byrequiringsignalsinbothforwardandbackwardsidesoftheHF calorimeters [27]. Further selections are applied offline to reject eventsfrombackgroundprocesses(beam-gasinteractionsand non-hadroniccollisions),seeRef. [28] fordetails.Eventsarerequiredto have atleast one interaction vertex, reconstructed basedon two tracks ormore,andwithadistance oflessthan15 cm fromthe centerof thenominalinteraction pointalong thebeamaxis.The primary interaction vertex is defined as the one with the high-est track multiplicity in the event. The shapesof the clusters in thepixeldetectorhavetobecompatiblewiththoseexpectedfrom particles producedattheprimary vertexlocation. ThePbPb colli-sioneventsarealsorequiredtohaveatleasttwocalorimeter tow-ersineachHFdetectorwithenergydepositsofmorethan4 GeV pertower.Thesecriteriaselect(99±2)%ofinelastichadronicPbPb collisions.The possibilitytohavevalueshigherthan100% reflects the possible presence of ultra-peripheral (nonhadronic)collisions intheselectedeventsample.

Events fromMonte Carlo (MC) simulations are used to study both promptandnonpromptD0 mesonprocesses.The eventsare generated using an embedding procedure, in which D0 mesons generatedby pythia 8.212 [29] (tuneCP5 [30])areembeddedinto MB eventsfrom hydjet 1.9 [31]. Afull simulationoftheCMS de-tectorisperformedusing Geant4 [32].ThepromptD0 mesonMC simulationisemployedtodefinesignalselectionsandmeasure ef-ficiencycorrections,whilethenonpromptD0 mesonMCsampleis usedtoestimatesystematicuncertaintiescomingfromnonprompt D0contamination.

3. ReconstructionandselectionofD0mesons

Prompt D0 mesons are reconstructed from the decay D0→

π++K− andD0→π−+K+withabranchingfractionof(3.94± 0.04)%,usingselected trackswith pT>1.0 GeV/c andwithin the acceptanceof|η| <2.4.Candidatesareformedbycombiningpairs

of tracks from oppositely charged particles andrequiring an in-variantmass(minv) withina ±200 MeV/c2 windowofthe world-averageD0mesonmassof(1864.83±0.05)MeV/c2[33].Foreach pair of selected tracks, two possible candidates for D0 and D0 mesonsareconsideredbyassumingoneofthetrackshasthepion mass, while the other track has the kaon mass, and vice versa. Kinematicvertexfits are performedto reconstructthe secondary verticesofD0 candidatedecays.

After the D0 candidate reconstruction, a selection using a boosted decision tree (BDT) algorithm from the tmva pack-age [24] isemployed.FortheBDTtraining,misidentifiedD0 candi-datesindataevents,wherepionandkaonhavethesamecharge, areusedtomimicthecombinatorialbackground.Thesignal candi-datesaretakenfromMCsimulationsofpromptD0 mesonsandare requiredtomatchD0 particlesatthegeneratorlevel.Thevariables related to D0 mesons used to discriminate the signal from the backgroundare: χ2 probability fortheD0 vertexfit, 3D distance betweenthe secondaryand primary verticesand its significance, the decay length significance projected in the xy-plane, and the angleintwoandthreedimensionsbetweenthemomentumofthe D0 mesoncandidateandthelineconnectingtheprimary andthe secondaryvertices(pointingangle).Relatedtothedecayproducts oftheD0mesoncandidate,thevariablesusedare:theuncertainty in pT returned by thetrack fittingprocedure, the significanceof the z and the xy distances ofclosestapproachtotheprimary ver-tex,andthenumberofhitsinthetrackerdetector.Thesevariables are chosen by analyzing their BDT ranking (variables more fre-quentlyused in the decisiontree) and correlation matrixamong all variables. Different BDT boost algorithms are tested, choosing theadaptive boost algorithm [24] asdefault. Overtrainingchecks aredone forall analysisbins bycomparing theBDT distributions fromtrainingandtestingD0mesonsamples.Inaddition,aBDTcut optimization is performedin bins of centrality, pT, and rapidity, doingascanindifferentBDTscoresandfindingtheoneresulting in maximal D0 mesons signal significance for each analysis bin. Comparedto acutoff-based procedure, thisBDT selection almost doublesthe signalsignificancefor D0 mesonsin1<|y| <2,and increasesthesignal significanceby30%forD0 mesonsin|y| <1, for events with collision centrality in the range 0–30%. For the remaininganalysisbins asimilar performance ofBDTand cutoff-basedmethodsisobserved.

4. Analysistechnique

The elliptic andtriangular flow coefficientsof D0 mesons are extractedusingthescalarproduct(SP) method,similarly towhat wasdone inapreviousCMSpublication [25].Inthismethod,the

vn coefficientsofD0 candidates(includingbackgrounds)are mea-suredusing vn{SP} ≡  QnD0QnA∗   QnAQnB∗QnAQ∗nC QnBQnC∗ , (1)

with the Q -vectors expressed as Qn≡Mj=1wjeinφj, where the sumis over the total number(M) of HF towers above a certain energy threshold (with the weights wj taken as the energy de-positedintheHFtoweratazimuthalangle φj),oftrackswith pT aboveacertainthreshold(with wj takenastrackpT inφjangle), orofselectedD0 mesoncandidates(with w

jtakenequalto1). The Q -vectors relatedtoHFandthetrackeraremeasuredand correctedfordetectorirregularitiesbyapplyingaflattening anda recenteringprocedure [12,34].The QnAandQnBaredefinedusing the event-planemeasurements fromthe negative (−5<η<−3, HF−) and thepositive (3<η<5, HF+) sidesofHF, and QnC is measuredusingthetrackerinformationintheregionof|η| <0.75,

(3)

allowing to minimize the correlations among the three regions, with a gap of more than two units of rapidity. The QnD0 vector is definedforeach D0 mesoncandidate.The averages QnAQnB∗ ,

QnAQnC∗ ,andQnBQnC∗ aremadeconsideringallselectedevents, while the average QD0

n QnA∗  is made considering all D0 meson candidates in all selected events. To avoid autocorrelations, the termsQnD0QnA∗ andQnAQnB∗ useA=HF−(HF+)whentheD0 mesoncandidateisatpositive(negative)pseudorapidity.

One goal of this analysis is to measure the difference (vn) between D0 and D0meson flow coefficients, vn, as a function of rapidity, to probe effects from EM fields. The difference vn is measuredas: vn{SP} ≡ QnD0QnA∗ − QnD0QnA∗  QnAQnB∗QnAQnC∗ QnBQnC∗ . (2)

The vn and vn of D0 meson candidates are first measured as a function oftheir minv. The extraction of the D0 mesons signal

vn (vn), vsign (vsign ), is performed via a simultaneous binned

χ2 fit of the m

inv distribution and of vn (vn). The minv distri-bution is fitwith threecomponents: a third-order polynomial to modelthecombinatorialbackground, B(minv);twoGaussianswith the same meanbut differentwidths to describe the minv in dif-ferent kinematic regions for the D0 mesons signal, S(minv); and oneadditionalGaussiandistributionfortheswapcomponent cor-respondingtotheincorrectmassassignmentfortheassumedpion andkaonparticles, S W(minv).Thewidthof S W(minv)andthe ra-tiobetweenthe yieldsof S W(minv)and S(minv)are fixedby the values extractedfromMC simulations. Inthiscase, the following expressioncanbeusedforextractingvsign :

vsign +bkg(minv)=α(minv)vnsig+ [1−α(minv)]vbkgn (minv). (3) The α(minv)parameter, whichcharacterizes thesignal fractionas afunctionofmass,isdefinedasfollows:

α(minv)

= [S(minv)+S W(minv)]/[S(minv)+S W(minv)+B(minv)]

=αsignal(minv)+αswap(minv). (4)

Forextractingthedifferencevsign ,thefollowingexpressionis em-ployed:

vsign +bkg(minv)= vsign signal(minv)αswap(minv))+const.

(5) Theterm vbkgn (minv)fromEq. (3) ismodeledwithalinearfunction, whiletheconstantparameter const in Eq. (5) isaddedtoaccount forpossiblefluctuationsinthebackground vncomponent.The rel-evance ofthis const parameter was investigated by redoing vn measurements in MC simulation (without azimuthal correlations oreffectsfromEMfields),indicatingthatthisparameterimproves the fit quality anddoes not introduce artificial signals. A cross-check is performedby redoing the measurements using a linear function insteadofa constant.No significantchanges inthe cen-tralvaluesof v2 andon theiruncertainties are observed.Fig.1 showsanexampleofasimultaneousfitfor v2 andv2.

After performing the fits forextractingthe signal vn,there is stillasizablefractionofnonpromptD0 mesonsembeddedin vsign . Theextractedvncanbewrittenas

vsign =fpromptvpromptn + (1−fprompt)vnonpromptn . (6)

ThenonpromptD0mesoncontaminationistakenintoaccountasa systematicuncertainty,bycheckingthatthenonpromptD0 meson fraction is always smaller than 12% (i.e., comparable to the un-certaintiesinthereconstructedD0 mesonyield).Thisimpliesthat thecentral valuesof vn willnot be considerablyaffected bythis component,beingcompatiblewithin statisticaluncertainties.Such alowfractionarisesfromtheuseofpromptD0 mesonsignalsin theBDTtraining,togetherwithvariablesthatarehighlycorrelated withthe distance ofclosest approach (DCA) to theprimary ver-tex,whichisdefinedastheflightdistanceoftheD0particletimes thesineofthepointingangleinthreedimensions.AdditionalDCA selectionanddedicatedtraining,involvingpromptandnonprompt D0 mesonsignals,donotbringconsiderableimprovementsin per-formance.ThepromptandnonpromptD0 mesonfractionsare ob-tainedusingtheDCA variable.ForpromptD0mesons,thenonzero DCA correspondstothedetectorresolution,andisexpectedtobe concentrated around zero.Fornonprompt D0 mesons, larger val-uesofDCA resultfromtheBmesondecay.Toextracttheprompt andnonpromptD0 mesonfractions,afittotheDCA distributions isperformedindataconsideringDCA shapesfromMCsimulations forpromptandnonpromptD0mesoncomponents.Thenonprompt D0 meson vnisestimatedbyconsideringtworegionsintheDCA: one withvery low fraction (2.7–8.0%) ofnonprompt D0 particles (DCA<0.012 cm), and one witha highfraction (62.0–88.0%) of nonpromptD0 particles(DCA>0.012 cm).Usingthisinformation togetherwithEq. (6),itispossibletoestimate vnonpromptn by solv-ing asystemof two equationsfromthe two DCA regions.Inthe currentanalysisthisprocedurecanonlybe doneinwide pT, cen-trality, andrapidity bins, because ofthe limitedamount of data availableintheregionwithDCA>0.012 cm.

5. Systematicuncertainties

Thesources of systematicuncertainties includethe D0 identi-fication requirements(BDTselection); theprobability distribution function(PDF)formodelingthebackgroundintheinvariantmass fit;theimpactofacceptanceandefficiencyoftheD0 mesonyield; thevariationofthePDFformodelingthebackground vn;andthe remainingnonpromptD0contamination.Withtheexceptionofthe last component, the uncertainties are quoted as absolute values ofvnandvnaftercomparing thedefaultanalysisconfiguration withthevariations.Todiminishtheinfluenceofstatistical fluctua-tions,afterobservingnospecialtrendsinthedeviationsfromthe defaultmeasurements, the systematicuncertainties are evaluated byaveragingthedeviationswithaconstantfitasafunctionofthe analysisbins.

Inordertotakeintoaccountthesystematicuncertainty associ-atedwiththeBDTselection,theBDTcutisvariedupanddownby themaximaldeviationbetweentheBDToptimizedselectionbased onMCsimulationsanddata.TheBDTcuts(andvariationsfor sys-tematicuncertainties)aredefinedinbinsofcollisioncentrality, pT, and rapidity, ranging from 0.28 to 0.47 (±0.02–0.03). Regarding theeffectofthebackgroundmassmodeling,eitheranexponential functiontogetherwithasecondorderpolynomial,orjustasecond orderpolynomial,areconsideredinsteadofthedefaultfitfunction usingathird-orderpolynomial.Tofit vnasafunctionofmass,the defaultconfigurationusingalinearfunction isreplaced byeither aconstantora secondorderpolynomial.Althoughthe D0 meson selectionefficiencyessentiallycancelsin vnmeasurements,a sys-tematicuncertaintyisassignedbycomparingtheresultswithand withoutapplyingcorrections basedon MC simulationsin binsof

[25], and a clear trend of rise andfall from low to high pT is observed for both

v2 and v3 across thefull centrality range.This behavior is simi-larto that observed forinclusivechargedparticles [35] for |η| <

1.0, also shown in Fig. 2. For noncentral collisions (i.e., central-ity 10–50%), values of prompt D0 meson v

2 are positive up to

pT∼30.0–40.0 GeV/c, whereas the v3 values become consistent withzeroatpT∼10.0 GeV/c.

Calculations from theoretical models at midrapidity (|y| <1) arealsopresented.Thesemodelsusedifferentassumptionsofthe QGPproperties,forexampleinthethermalevolutionofthe colli-sionsystemandintheinitial-stateconditionsbeforetheformation ofthe QGP. In addition, differentmechanisms are considered re-garding the interaction of heavy quarks with the medium and forthe hadronization process. Results fromthe models LBT [36], CUJET 3.0 [37], and SUBATECH [38] include collisional and ra-diative energy losses, while those from the models TAMU [39], PHSD [15], and TAMU SMCs [40] include only collisional energy loss. Initial-state fluctuations are included in the calculations by LBT,SUBATECH,andPHSD, andcalculationsforthe v3 coefficient are only available from these three models. Coalescence mecha-nismsarealsoincludedinLBT,SUBATECH,TAMU,PHSD,andTAMU SMCs. While most models seem to capture the qualitative trend of the data (except for the v2 description provided by TAMUin the10–50%centralityrange),mostofthemodelsdonotprovidea quantitativedescriptionoverthefullrange,exceptforTAMUSMCs. TheTAMUSMCsversionimprovestheTAMUmodelby implement-ingevent-by-eventspace-momentumcorrelations(SMCs)between charmquarksandthehigh-flowpartonsintheQGPmedium [40]. Since it does not include initial-state fluctuations, TAMU SMCs does not provide v2 calculations for centrality values between 0–10%. Thisputs more stringent constraints on the development ofthecollectiveflowforcharmquarksintheQGPmedium,giving

In Ref. [19], the predicted v2 splittingfor inclusive chargedparticlesduetoelectricfieldsis∼0.001 at theLHC ener-gies. Whilequantitative predictionsfor v2 splittingofD0 mesons are not yet available, they are expected to be much larger than thoseforinclusivechargedparticles.Inthecaseofv1,theALICE collaboration reported results about three orders of magnitude larger thanmeasurementsforchargedhadrons [44],although the uncertainties prevent a clear conclusion.The main reasonisthat heavy-flavorquarksareusuallyproduced muchearlierthan light-flavorquarks,theformerbeingpredominantlyproducedsoonafter thecollisiontakesplace,whentheEMfieldstrengthisseveral

meson v2 and v3 isobserved. When comparing various theoret-ical calculationsto the data at midrapidity, no model is able to describethedataoverthefullcentralityandpT ranges.

Motivatedbythesearchforevidenceofthestrongelectricfield expected in PbPb collisions, a first measurement of the v2 flow coefficientdifference(v2)betweenD0 andD

0

mesonsasa func-tionofrapidityispresented.Therapidity-averaged v2differenceis measuredtobev2=0.001±0.001 (stat)±0.003(syst).This in-dicatesthatthereisnoevidencethatcharmhadroncollectiveflow isaffected bythe strongCoulomb field createdinultrarelativistic heavyioncollisions.Futurecomparisonsoftheoreticalmodelswith theseresultsmayprovideconstraints ontheelectricconductivity ofthequark-gluonplasma.
