Measurement of long-range angular correlations and azimuthal anisotropies in high-multiplicity p+Au collisions at sNN=200 GeV

Abstract: We present the first measurements of long-range angular correlations and the transverse momentum dependence of elliptic flow v2 in high-multiplicity p+Au collisions at √ s N N = 200 GeV. A comparison of these results with previous measurements in high-multiplicity d+Au and 3 He+Au collisions demonstrates a relation between v2 and the initial collision eccentricity ε2, suggesting that the observed momentum-space azimuthal anisotropies in these small systems have a collective origin 3 and reflect the initial geo… Show more

“…The measurements were performed in the 0-5% centrality class of events in each of the three systems. They significantly improve the precision and reach of previous measurements [5][6][7] and strongly confirm the system size dependence of the functions v 2 (p ⊥ ) and v 3 (p ⊥ ), where p ⊥ is the measured transverse momentum of charged hadrons.…”

“…injecting different initial-state asymmetries through p, d, and 3 He projectiles incident on Au nuclei at RHIC (76)(77)(78). Figure 4a shows that the various projectiles result in initial conditions that are dominantly circular, elliptical, and triangular for p, d, and 3 He projectiles, respectively.…”

“…Indeed, it is not possible to correlate clearly the collision geometry, the size of the fireball and the amount of produced particle. The centrality determination in small systems is based on the measured particle multiplicity and loses its strong link to the collision impact parameter [54][55][56][57]. This implies new efforts from theoretical simulations in order to compare their results to experimental measurements and to make predictions that can be easily verified.…”
