Description
Recent low pT<2 GeV vn data on the beam energy scan (BES) and D+Au at RHIC and the surprising data on low pT vn in p+Pb at LHC challenge long held assumptions about the validity or necessity of perfect fluid hydrodynamics in A+A. Could classical field interference phenomena from color antenna arrays and or Unruh noninertial color currents play a critical role in resolving the BES+DA+pA puzzle? We explore non-hydrodynamic scenarios that could generate apparent collective flow signatures in vn observables.
