Abstract
The two component Monte-Carlo Glauber model predicts a knee-like structure in the centrality dependence of elliptic flow v2v2 in Uranium + Uranium collisions at sNN=193 GeV. It also produces a strong anti-correlation between v2v2 and dNch/dydNch/dy in the case of top ZDC events. However, none of these features have been observed in data. We address these discrepancies by including the effect of nucleon shadowing to the two component Monte-Carlo Glauber model. Apart from addressing successfully the above issues, we find that the nucleon shadow suppresses the event by event fluctuation of various quantities, e.g. ε2ε2 which is in accordance with expectation from the dynamical models of initial condition based on gluon saturation physics.
