Does shape matter? v_2 vs eccentricity in small x gluon production

arXiv:1805.09297 · doi:10.1016/j.physletb.2018.09.001

Abstract

We study analytically and numerically effects of spatial eccentricity of the projectile shape on the second flow harmonic in inclusive gluon production in p-A collisions in the CGC framework. Keeping the collision area fixed, we find that the two quantities are anti-correlated.
