Overview talk on small systems
ATLAS has performed comprehensive measurement of two-particle and multi-particle long-range azimuthal correlations in pp, p+Pb and peripheral Pb+Pb collisions at various energies. This talk provides a comprehensive review of results from these measurements, and it discusses their implications for understanding the mechanism and time scale for the generation of the long-range correlations in...
I'd like to have 5 minutes to discuss two slides with hydrodynamic freeze-out surfaces for various "small" collision systems that may help to explain the absence (so far) of jet quenching effects in p-Pb and p-p collisions.
Both collision geometry and event-by-event fluctuations are encoded in the experimentally observed flow harmonic distribution $p(v_n)$ and 2k-particle cumulants $c_n\{2k\}$. In the present talk, we systematically connect these observables to each other by employing Gram-Charlier A series. Also we quantify the deviation of the flow harmonic distribution from Bessel-Gaussianity in terms of the...
