Eccentricity fluctuations from the color glass condensate at RHIC and LHC
Jul, 2007Citations per year
Abstract: (arXiv)
In this brief note, we determine the fluctuations of the initial eccentricity in heavy-ion collisions caused by fluctuations of the nucleon configurations. This is done via a Monte-Carlo implementation of a Color Glass Condensate -factorization approach. The eccentricity fluctuations are found to nearly saturate elliptic flow fluctuations measured recently at RHIC. Extrapolations to LHC energies are shown.- 24.85.+p
