Scaling relation betweenpAandAAcollisions

Abstract: We compare the flow-like correlations in high multiplicity proton-nucleus (p + A) and nucleusnucleus (A + A) collisions. At fixed multiplicity, the correlations in these two colliding systems are strikingly similar, although the system size is smaller in p + A. Based on an independent cluster model and a simple conformal scaling argument, where the ratio of the mean free path to the system size stays constant at fixed multiplicity, we argue that flow in p + A emerges as a collective response to the fluctuation… Show more

“…Similar observation has been made in Cu+Cu, Au+Au and U+U collisions at RHIC [42], and in p+Pb and peripheral Pb+Pb collisions at the LHC [43,44]. Based on an independent source picture and a simple conformal scaling argument [45], this scaling behavior is expected since ε 3 is driven by random fluctuations of the positions of participating nucleons. The v 3 {PP} values show a similar ⟨N ch ⟩ dependence as symmetric systems, except for d+Au which deviates from the common trend at large ⟨N ch ⟩.…”

“…Indeed, an alternative explanation for the modulation using perturbative QCD and assuming saturated parton distributions in the lead nucleus is capable of reproducing many features of the p + Pb data [20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29]. Nonetheless, because of the many similarities between the p + Pb and Pb + Pb observations, extensive theoretical and experimental effort has been devoted to address the question of whether the strong-coupling physics understood to be responsible for the collective dynamics in A + A collisions may persist in smaller systems [30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40].…”
