Such a structure enhances production of isotropically distributed high-pT particles, making v2 smaller there. Also, it reduces v2 in the forward and backward regions where the global matter density is smaller, so where such effects become more efficacious.4 pages, 5 figuresHigh Energy Physics - PhenomenologyImportance of Granular Structure in the Initial Conditions for the Elliptic Flowtext
