Abstract:We compute the azimuthal eccentricities arising from initial stage fluctuations in high energy proton-nucleus collisions at proper times τ ≥ 0 + . We consider two sources of fluctuations, namely the geometrical structure of the proton and the fluctuation of color fields carried by both proton and nucleus. Describing these effects with Gaussian models allows us to analytically calculate the one-and two-point correlators of energy density, from which the eccentricities are obtained. We compute the proper time ev… Show more
