Rapidity dependence of elliptic and triangular flow in proton–nucleus collisions from collective dynamics

The rapidity dependence of elliptic, v2, and triangular, v3, flow coefficients in proton–nucleus (p+A) collisions is predicted in hydrodynamics and in a multi-phase transport model (AMPT). We find that vn (n=2,3) on a nucleus side is significantly larger than on a proton side and the ratio between t...
