I'm a highschool student and have been doing some basic research on particle physics for about a year now. It started with an interest in the Higgs but I have recently acquired a "mentor" who I will be visiting at Brookhaven National Laboratory. Unfortunately, he has been unable to answer a few questions I had recently regarding heavy boson collisions and I was hoping someone could help me out as I have a presentation to give soon. Firstly, what is a multiplicity dependence? A q-vector? b fluctuations? Also, what is a flow vector and how does its length affect particle collisions? U2 fluctuations? √SNN? Lastly, what are centrality and rapidity? My best guess would be centrality is a particles proximity to the actual center of a beam or collision and rapidity is the rate at which the particles in a beam follow each other but I am unable to confirm either suspicion. I understand that there are alot of questions in this post and I would be very grateful if anyone could even answer one or two to the best of their knowledge. Thanks.
