Gluon field fluctuations in nuclear collisions: Multiplicity and eccentricity distributions

Abstract

We discuss different sources of fluctuations in nuclear collisions and their realization in the IP-Glasma model. We present results for multiplicity distributions in p+p and p+A collisions and compare eccentricity distributions in A+A collisions to the flow harmonic distributions in 10 centrality classes measured by the ATLAS collaboration.
