abstract = {Measurements of the elliptic flow coefficient relative to
the collision plane defined by the spectator neutrons
$v_2\{\Psi_\mathrm{SP}\}$ in collisions of Pb ions at
center-of-mass energy per nucleon-nucleon pair
$\sqrt{s_\mathrm{NN}}=2.76$ TeV and Xe ions at
$\sqrt{s_\mathrm{NN}}=5.44$ TeV are reported. The results
are presented for charged particles produced at midrapidity
as a function of centrality and transverse momentum for the
$5-70\\%$ and $0.2-6\ \mathrm{GeV}/c$ ranges, respectively.
The ratio between $v_2\{\Psi_\mathrm{SP}\}$ and the elliptic
flow coefficient relative to the participant plane
$v_2\{4\}$, estimated using four-particle correlations,
deviates by up to $20\\%$ from unity depending on
centrality. This observation differs strongly from the
magnitude of the corresponding eccentricity ratios predicted
by the TRENTo and the elliptic power models of initial state
fluctuations that are tuned to describe the participant
plane anisotropies. The differences can be interpreted as a
decorrelation of the neutron spectator plane and the
reaction plane because of fragmentation of the remnants from
the colliding nuclei, which points to an incompleteness of
current models describing the initial state fluctuations. A
significant transverse momentum dependence of the ratio
$v_2\{\Psi_\mathrm{SP}\}/v_2\{4\}$ is observed in all but
the most central collisions, which may help to understand
whether momentum anisotropies at low and intermediate
transverse momentum have a common origin in initial state
fluctuations. The ratios of $v_2\{\Psi_\mathrm{SP}\}$ and
$v_2\{4\}$ to the corresponding initial state eccentricities
for Xe--Xe and Pb--Pb collisions at similar initial entropy
density show a difference of $(7.0\pm0.9)\\%$ with an
additional variation of $+1.8\\%$ when including RHIC data
in the TRENTo parameter extraction. These observations
provide new experimental constraints for viscous effects in
the hydrodynamic modeling of the expanding quark--gluon
plasma produced in heavy-ion collisions at the LHC.},
