How big should a \( \eta \)-gap be?
\( \langle 2 \rangle = \frac{p_{n,1}^A Q_{-n,1}^B}{p_{0,1}^A Q_{0,1}^B} \)
\( v_n\{2, |\Delta \eta |> x \} = \sqrt{\langle \langle 2Â \rangle \rangle } \)
\[Â \langle v_n(\eta_a)v_n(\eta_b)Â \rangle = \langle v_n(\eta_a)\rangle \langle v_n(\eta_b) \rangle \]
\[ f_2(\Delta \eta) = \langle v_n(\eta_a)\rangle / \langle v_n(\eta_b) \rangle , \Delta \eta = \eta_a - \eta_b\]

can constrain the initial state models
study longitudinal dynamics of the created hot and dense matter
