Abstract

In this paper we demonstrate that the selection of events with different multiplicities of produced particles, leads to the violation of the azimuthal angular symmetry, ϕπϕ\phi \to \pi - \phi. We find for LHC and lower energies, that this violation can be so large for the events with multiplicities n2nˉn \geq 2 \bar{n}, where nˉ\bar{n} is the mean multiplicity, that it leads to almostno suppression of vnv_n, with odd nn. However, this can only occur if the typical size of the dipole in DIS with a nuclear target is small, or Q2>Qs2\LbA,Ymin,b\RbQ^2 \,>\,Q^2_s\Lb A, Y_{\rm min},b\Rb, where QsQ_s is the saturation momentum of the nucleus at Y=YminY = Y_{\rm min}. In the case of large sizes of dipoles, when Q2<Qs2\LbA,Ymin,b\RbQ^2 \,<\,Q^2_s\Lb A, Y_{\rm min},b\Rb, we show that vn=0v_n =0 for odd nn. Hadron-nucleus scattering is discussed.
