This arises due to loss of information because of multiple hits in any channel. The magnitude of this loss of signal depends both on the occupancy and on the value of the 2 coefficient. These correction factors are obtained for analysis methods differing in detail, and v 3 are found to be different. 2 0 2 1 Introduction 0 5 0 Azimuthal anisotropy in particle emission in ultra-relativistic heavy ion collisions was / x proposed as an important probe of the dynamics of the system [1]. Subsequently, e - various methods have been proposed to obtain this anisotropy [2, 3, 4]. In the more l c commonly used method the azimuthal distributions are expanded in a Fourier series u where the coefficients of expansion ar
