Description
Large azimuthal quadrupole and octupole asymmetries have recently been found in p+Pb collisions at the LHC. We argue that these might arise from a projectile dipole scattering off randomly shaped intrinsic fluctuations in the target with a size on the order of the dipole. Generic energy-momentum fluctuations generate comparable asymmetries for all multipole moments vn. The holographic description of this process involves the calculation of a light-like Wilson loop in the background of a non-uniform holographic shockwave in the presence of a Neveu-Schwarz 2-form.
