Performance for proton anisotropic flow measurement of the CBM experiment at FAIR

The Compressed Baryonic Matter experiment (CBM) performance for proton anisotropic flow measurements is studied with Monte-Carlo simulations using collisions of gold ions at lab momentum of 12A GeV/c employing DCM-QGSM-SMM heavy-ion event generator. Realistic procedures are used for centrality estimation with the number of registered tracks and particle identification with information from Time-Of-Flight detector. Variation of directed flow estimates depending on various combinations of PSD modules is used to evaluate possible systematic biases due to collision symmetry plane estimation.
