19. In the event-plane method, the sum runs over a selected subset of detected particles, not over all particles, in order to suppress nonflow correlations. With the present method, nonflow correlations are not an issue. On the other hand, the method can only be applied if the resolution is large enough, as will be discussed in Sec. IV. In order to maximize the resolution, one must use all detected particles.
