Description
Anisotropic flow is one of the observables which is sensitive to the properties of the created hot and dense system in heavy-ion collisions. Unfortunately detailed measurements of anisotropic flow are difficult due to contributions from nonflow correlations. In these proceedings a recently developed method for flow analysis, called Q-cumulants (a.k.a. direct cumulants), will be presented. This new method is used to study azimuthal correlations in p-p collisions at 7 TeV with the ALICE detector.
