Description

We present an event-by-event study of the spatial structure of the fluctuating gluon fields inside a proton as well as their x-dependence using the JIMWLK renormalization group equation. We discuss how event-by-event fluctuations of the protons internal structure can generate the observed azimuthal anisotropies in p+A collisions and how these fluctuations can be constrained from e+p/A experiments.
