Skewness of event-by-event 〈p_T〉 distribution of charged particles at LHC energies with ALICE

In ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions, a hot and dense nuclear state of matter known as the quark–gluon plasma (QGP) is formed, in which quarks and gluons are no longer confined within hadrons. The space–time evolution of the QGP is known to be governed by hydrodynamic equations of state. In this work, the first measurements of skewness of e-by-e 〈p_T〉 distribution are presented, as a function of average charged-particle pseudorapidity density 〈dN_ch/dη〉_|η| <0.5 in pp collisions at √s = 5.02 TeV and Pb–Pb (Xe–Xe) collisions at √s_NN = 5.02 (5.44) TeV using the data recorded by the ALICE detector
