The torque effect and fluctuations of entropy deposition in rapidity in ultra-relativistic nuclear collisions

The decorrelation of the orientation of the event-plane angles in the initial state of relativistic Pb–Pb and p–Pb collisions, the “torque effect”, is studied in a model of entropy deposition in the longitudinal direction involving fluctuations of the longitudinal source profile on large scales. The...
