Elliptic Flow from Color Glass Condensate
arXiv:hep-ph/0209341 · doi:10.1016/S0375-9474(02)01463-X
Abstract
We show that an observable fraction of the measured elliptic flow may originate in classical gluon fields at the initial stage of a peripheral high-energy nuclear collision. This mechanism complements the contribution of late stage mechanisms, such as those described by hydrodynamics, to the observed elliptic flow.
