Description

We study the effects of nucleon shadowing in the two component Glauber model. The conventional Glauber model predicts a knee-like structure in the centrality dependence of $v_2$ which has not been observed in experiments. This discrepancy is removed by the inclusion of nucleon shadowing. The model also explains the suppression in fluctuations of initial $\varepsilon_{2}$ for a given centrality. This result agrees with the dynamical models of initial condition based on gluon saturation physics.
