Azimuthal anisotropies in p+Pb collisions from classical Yang–Mills dynamics

We compute single and double inclusive gluon distributions in classical Yang–Mills simulations of proton–lead collisions and extract the associated transverse momentum dependent Fourier harmonics v2(pT) and v3(pT). Gluons have a large v2 in the initial state, while odd harmonics such as v3 vanish id...
