Proton-lead collisions at the LHC provide an opportunity to probe the
physics of the initial state of ultra-relativistic heavy ion
collisions. In particular, they can provide insight on the effect
of an extended nuclear target on the dynamics of soft and hard
scattering processes and subsequent particle production. Charged
particle multiplicity and pseudorapidity distributions are...

Measurements of the midrapidity transverse energy distribution
$dE_T/d\eta$, are presented for $p$$+$$p$, $d$$+$Au, and Au$+$Au
collisions at 62.4--200 GeV. The $E_T$ distributions are compared with
the number of participants, $N_{\mathrm{part}}$, the number of binary
collisions, $N_{\mathrm{coll}}$, and the number of constituent-quark
participants, $N_{qp}$, calculated from a Glauber...

The collective expansion of the fireball formed in ultrarelativistic p-A and d-A collisions are discussed. Estimates based on the extrapolation of the hydrodynamic model from A-A collisions to small systems indicate possible formation of a dense droplet of matter. Fluctuation in the initial state lead to finite eccentricity and triangularity, which give measurable elliptic and triangular flow...

Comprehensive results on transverse momentum distributions, their ratios, d$N$/d$y$ and <$p_{\mathrm{T}}$> values for identified light flavor hadrons ($\pi$, K, p, $\Lambda$, $\Xi$, $\Omega$) at low $p_{\mathrm{T}}$ and mid rapidity are reported for all collision systems at LHC energies: pp, p-Pb, Pb-Pb. It is well known that strong collective effects are observed in central Pb-Pb collisions...

In this talk the transverse momentum spectra of identified particles, geometry categorization and bias, and global observables in d+Au collisions at 200 GeV are reported. In d+Au collisions, the intermediate $p_T$ region between 2 and 5 GeV, there is a significant enhancement of the baryon to meson ratios relative to those measured in p+p collisions. The enhancement is present in d+Au...

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....

The flow harmonics $v_{2,3}$ for charged hadrons, are studied for a broad range of centrality selections and beam collision energies in Au+Au ($\sqrt{s_{NN}}= 7.7 - 200$ GeV) and Pb+Pb ($\sqrt{s_{NN}}= 2.76$ TeV) collisions. They validate the characteristic signature expected for the system size dependence of viscous damping at each collision energy studied. The extracted viscous coefficients,...

A strongly interacting medium, namely Quark Gluon Plasma (QGP), is formed in high energy heavy ion collisions at RHIC. Elliptic flow $(v_{2})$, the second order Fourier coefficient of azimuthal distribution of the produced particles with respect to reaction plane, is used to investigate the properties of QGP. Light nuclei ($d$, $\bar{d}$, $t$, $^{\small{3}}He$), produced in such collisions,...

The collective expansion in relativistic heavy-ion collisions is initially highly anisotropic. Due to viscosity, this leads to strongly deformed local momentum distributions which invalidates the standard viscous hydrodynamic expansion around a local equilibrium distribution, causing a breakdown of viscous fluid dynamics à la Israel and Stewart at early times. We have developed an improved...

Currently, most fluid-dynamical simulations of relativistic heavy ion collisions take into account only dissipative effects originating from shear viscosity. However, there is no a priori reason to neglect bulk viscosity since the actual order of magnitude and temperature dependence of this transport coefficient is unknown, and could be significant. In this work, we explore the...

A key question facing the heavy-ion physics community is whether or not collective behavior develops in elementary collisions. We will utilize a variety of techniques designed to obtain elliptic and triangular flow coefficients ($v_{2}$ and $v_{3}$) on data from pp $\sqrt{s} = 7$ TeV and p-Pb $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}} = 5.02$ TeV collisions. We will report new measurements of second, fourth, and...

I compare the flow-like correlations in high multiplicity proton-nucleus (p + A) and nucleus- nucleus (A + A) collisions. At fixed multiplicity, the correlations in these two colliding systems are strikingly similar, although though the system size in p + A is smaller. Based on an independent cluster model and a simple conformal scaling argument, where the ratio of the mean free path to the...

Cu$+$Au collisions at RHIC have provided the first asymmetric
heavy-ion collisions at collider energies, where it is generally
believed that nuclear matter above the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP) transition is created. The
Cu$+$Au system provides a unique arena for QGP production and
development with novel features that are inaccessible in symmetric
A$+$A collisions, such as intrinsic...

An updated version of the partonic transport model Boltzmann Approach to Multi-Parton Scatterings (BAMPS) is presented, which numerically solves the 3+1D Boltzmann equation by allowing interactions among all parton species: gluons, light quarks, and heavy quarks with both elastic and inelastic collisions. We introduce the improved Gunion-Bertsch matrix element, which cures problems of the...

Recent results in d+Au and p+Pb collisions at RHIC and the LHC provide evidence for collective expansion and flow of the created medium. We propose a control set of experiments to directly compare particle emission patterns from p+Au, d+Au, and He3+Au or t+Au collisions at the same sqrt(sNN). Using Monte Carlo Glauber we find that a He3 or triton projectile, with a realistic wavefunction...

Recent low pT<2 GeV vn data on the beam energy scan (BES) and D+Au at RHIC and the surprising data on low pT vn in p+Pb at LHC challenge long held assumptions about the validity or necessity of perfect fluid hydrodynamics in A+A.

Anisotropic azimuthal correlations are used to probe the properties and the evolution of the system created in heavy-ion collisions.
Hydrodynamic model calculations predict that there are effects of $p_{\rm T}$ dependent fluctuations of the flow angle and flow magnitude, which might bias our previous anisotropic flow measurements.
In this talk, the two effects will be investigated in both...

The technique of two-particle correlations has been widely used in studying flow via azimuthal anisotropy in relativistic heavy-ion collisions. A key assumption imposed in this approach is the factorization of Fourier coefficients extracted from two-particle correlations into a product of single-particle anisotropies of trigger and associated particles. It was recently predicted by...
