Abstract
Momentum-space azimuthal harmonic event planes (EP) are constructed from final-state midrapidity particles binned in transverse momentum in GeV Au+Au collisions in a multiphase transport (AMPT) model. The EP correlations between bins, corrected by EP resolutions, are smaller than unity. This indicates that the EP's decorrelate over in AMPT, qualitatively consistent with data and hydrodynamic calculations. It is further found that the EP correlations approximately factorize into single -bin EP correlations to a common plane. This common plane appears to be the momentum-space EP integrated over all , not the configuration-space participant plane (PP).
