Description
With growing multiplicity, the pp and pA collisions enter the domain where the macroscopic description (thermodynamics and hydrodynamics) becomes applicable. We discuss this situation, first with simplified thought experiments, then
with some idealized representative cases, and finally address the real data.
For clarity, we don't do it numerically but analytically, using the Gubser solution.
We found that the radial flow is expected to increase from central AA to central pA.
Recent CMS and ALICE data confirm that it is the case. We discuss the
consequences of these finding.
