We argue that the statistical weight function W[rho] appearing in the McLerran-Venugopalan model of a large nucleus is intrinsically non-Gaussian, even if we neglect quantum corrections. Based on the picture where the nucleus of radius R consists of a collection of color-neutral nucleons, each of radius a<<R, we show that to leading order in alpha_s and a/R only the Gaussian part of W[rho] enters into the final expression for the gluon number density. Thus, the existing results in the literature which assume a Gaussian weight remain valid.

    In the weak-field CGC limit the glasma energy-momentum tensor has universal late-time scaling ε,PT∼1/τ and PL∼1/τ³, with closed Meijer-G forms in the MV model and controlled series in an improved Gaussian model.
