Results for particle production in s=5.02TeV p + Pb collisions at the Large Hadron Collider within a combined classical Yang–Mills and relativistic viscous hydrodynamic calculation are presented. We emphasize importance of sub-nucleon scale fluctuations proton projectile to describe experimentally observed azimuthal harmonic coefficients vn, demonstrating their sensitivity shape. stress that shape its not free parameters our calculations. Instead, they have been constrained using experimental data from HERA on exclusive vector meson production. Including temperature dependent shear bulk viscosities, as well UrQMD low regime, we present results mean transverse momenta, flow charged hadrons identified particles, Hanbury–Brown–Twiss radii.
