Description
Recent years, evidence for collective effects has been revealed in small collision systems when looking at events releasing large number of particles. The experimental observations lead to a debate of the formation of strongly coupled Quark-Gluon Plasma in those small collision systems. Azimuthal anisotropy coefficient (vn) of heavy-flavor quarks can shed light on their coupling strength to the hypothesized hydrodynamic medium at a significantly reduces size, and impose further constrains on different interpretations related to the origin of the observed collectivity. In this talk, I will present a review of the most recent experimental results of heavy-flavor quark vn in small collision systems, and discuss their implications, as well as new opportunities and challenges that arise from the results.
