Influence of initial fluctuations on geometry measures in relativistic
U-U and Cu-Au collisions    [PDF]

In the framework of the Glauber approach we investigate the influence of the initial fluctuations on various measures of the initial-state geometry in 63Cu+197Au and 238U+238U relativistic ion collisions. Comparing variants of Glauber model (the wounded-nucleon model, the mixed model, and the hot-spot model) we indicate sensitivity of certain observables, in particular for the azimuthal eccentricity parameters as well as for the correlation of directions of the principal axes associated with the Fourier components. We apply GLISSANDO in our analysis.
