Title: Azimuthal anisotropies at high momentum from purely non-hydrodynamic transport

Abstract

In the limit of short mean free path, relativistic kinetic theory gives rise to hydrodynamics through a systematically improvable gradient expansion. In the present work, a systematically improvable expansion in the opposite limit of large mean free path is considered, describing the dynamics of particles which are almost, but not quite, non-interacting. This non-hydrodynamic “eremitic” expansion does not break down for large gradients, and may be useful in situations where a hydrodynamic treatment is not applicable. As applications, azimuthal anisotropies at high transverse momenta in Pb + Pb and p + Pb collisions at $$ \sqrt{s}$$ = 5.02 TeV are calculated from the first order eremitic expansion of kinetic theory in the relaxation time approximation.
