Two-particle long-range azimuthal correlations are measured in photonuclear collisions using 1.7 nb−1 of
5.02 TeV Pb+Pb collision data collected by the ATLAS experiment at the CERN Large Hadron Collider.
Candidate events are selected using a dedicated high-multiplicity photonuclear event trigger, a combination
of information from the zero-degree calorimeters and forward calorimeters, and from pseudorapidity gaps
constructed using calorimeter energy clusters and charged-particle tracks. Distributions of event properties
are compared between data and Monte Carlo simulations of photonuclear processes. Two-particle correlation
functions are formed using charged-particle tracks in the selected events, and a template-fitting method is
employed to subtract the nonflow contribution to the correlation. Significant nonzero values of the secondand
third-order flow coefficients are observed and presented as a function of charged-particle multiplicity and
transverse momentum. The results are compared with flow coefficients obtained in proton-proton and proton-lead
collisions in similar multiplicity ranges, and with theoretical expectations. The unique initial conditions present
in this measurement provide a new way to probe the origin of the collective signatures previously observed only
in hadronic collisions.
