Description
From the perspective of the initial state physics, I will discuss large azimuthal asymmetries observed in p+Pb collisions at the LHC. In particular, I will show that
individual configurations of the McLerran-Venugopalan model describing a highly boosted hadron/nucleus are azimuthally anisotropic due to fluctuations of color charges. I will also present numerical evidence that impact parameter dependent small-x JIMWLK resummation preserves such anisotropies over several units of rapidity. Based on this, the full BBGKY hierarchy for the n-particle azimuthal cumulant will be discussed.
