Abstract

The rapidity dependence of elliptic, $v_2$ , and triangular, $v_3$ , flow coefficients in proton-nucleus (p+A) collisions is predicted in hydrodynamics and in a multi-phase transport model (AMPT). We find that $v_n$ ( $n=2,3$ ) on a nucleus side is significantly larger than on a proton side and the ratio between the two, $v_n^{\rm Pb}/v_n^{\rm p}$ , weekly depends on the transverse momentum of produced particles.
