 I)\nInvestigation of physical phenomena in heavy-ion collisions requires k
 nowledge about collision geometry. It is characterized by the energy distr
 ibution in the overlap region of the colliding nuclei.\n  Both the signal 
 from particles produced around mid-rapidity\, and the energy of the specta
 tor nucleons can be used to estimate the initial geometry.Due to the press
 ure gradients during the system evolution\, the spatial anisotropy of init
 ial state geometry is converted to an anisotropy in the momentum space\, w
 hich can be estimated via measured azymuthal distributions.We study the pe
 rformance of the centrality and the symmetry plane determination for diffe
 rent flow harmonics using the multiplicity around mid-rapidity or the forw
 ard nucleon energy measured in various detectors by the ALICE experiment a
 t LHC\n\nhttps://indico.particle.mephi.ru/event/4/contributions/474/
