To assess the properties of the quark-gluon plasma formed in heavy ion collisions, correlations between the mean transverse momentum, [p T ], and the magnitude of the flow harmonics, v n , are measured by the ATLAS experiment at the LHC. The analysis uses data samples of Pb+Pb and p+Pb collisions at √ s NN = 5.02 TeV, corresponding to integrated luminosities of 22 µb −1 and 28 nb −1 , respectively. The correlations are measured using a modified Pearson coefficient that is independent of multiplicity fluctuations. To suppress any short-range correlations, the [p T ] is measured at midrapidity and the flow harmonics are measured at forward rapidity. In Pb+Pb collisions, significant (non-zero) values of the correlation coefficients are observed for all studied harmonics, which show a strong centrality dependence but vary only weakly with the charged particle p T range used in the measurement. On the other hand, in p+Pb collisions, the correlation coefficient measured for the 2 nd harmonic is found to show only a weak centrality dependence. The predictions of a 3+1D viscous-hydrodynamic model are found to be qualitatively consistent with the data, indicating hydrodynamic origin of these correlations in p+Pb collisions. As an independent test for the hydrodynamic description of collectivity observed in p+Pb collisions, measurements of two-pion HBT correlations as a function of the angle of the pion pair with respect to the second-order event plane angle are presented. The HBT correlation functions, corrected for event plane resolution, are measured as a function of q out , q side and q long in intervals of pair transverse momentum and second-order flow-vector magnitude. The correlation functions are fit using the Bowler-Sinyukov form with the exponential HBT correlation function. The extracted HBT radii, R out , R side and R long and a significant out-side crossterm are found to exhibit significant modulation with respect to the second-order event plane, similar to that observed in heavy-ion collisions. Results of the measurements and physics implications of the result, will be discussed.
