$\mathrm{D}^{0}$ meson $v_{n}$ harmonics in PbPb collisions at 5.02 TeV
Abstract: The Fourier coefficients $v_{2}$ and $v_{3}$, which reflect the azimuthal anisotropy of $\mathrm{D}^{0}$ meson, is measured with scalar-product method in PbPb collisions at $ \sqrt{s_\mathrm{NN}} = $ 5.02 TeV with CMS. The measurement is done in a wide $p_{\mathrm{T}}$ range up to 40 GeV/$c$, for centrality classes 0-10%, 10-30% and 30-50%. It is the first measurement on $\mathrm{D}^{0}$ $v_{3}$ and the uncertainties on $\mathrm{D}^{0}$ $v_{2}$ are significantly improved compared with previous measurements. The measured $\mathrm{D}^{0}$ $v_{n}$ (n = 2, 3) is consistent with charged particle $v_{n}$ in central collisions, and begins to be lower than charged particles $v_{n}$ in $p_{\mathrm{T}}$ range 1 to 6 GeV/$c$ for more peripheral collisions. In high $p_{\mathrm{T}}$ range, non-zero $\mathrm{D}^{0}$ $v_{2}$ is also observed, which indicates the path length dependent energy loss of charm quark.

Summary
In summary, azimuthal anisotropy $v_2$ and $v_3$ of $\mathrm{D}^0$ is measured with scalar-product method in PbPb collisions at $ \sqrt{s_\mathrm{NN}} = $ 5.02 TeV with CMS, which is the first measurement on $v_3$ of $\mathrm{D}^0$. To extract $v_2$ and $v_3$ of prompt $\mathrm{D}^0$, the systematic uncertainties from non-prompt $\mathrm{D}^0$ are studied in a data driven method. Prompt $\mathrm{D}^0$ $v_2$ is found to be positive in studied $p_{\mathrm{T}}$ range 1 to 40 GeV/$c$, and prompt $\mathrm{D}^0$ $v_3$ is also found to be positive in $p_{\mathrm{T}}$ range around 1 to 8 GeV/c. The measured prompt $\mathrm{D}^0$ $v_n$ ($n =$ 2, 3) is consistent with charged particle $v_n$ in central collisions, and is lower than $v_n$ of charged particles in $p_{\mathrm{T}}$ range 1 to 6 GeV/$c$ for more peripheral collisions.
