Continuous description of fluctuating eccentricities
We consider the initial energy density in the transverse plane of a high energy nucleus–nucleus collision as a random field ρ(x), whose probability distribution P[ρ], the only ingredient of the present description, encodes all possible sources of fluctuations. We argue that it is a local Gaussian, w...
