Description
Results on pA collisions have demonstrated the potential of light systems in achieving the most surprising discoveries. The presence of fluid-like behaviour and their implications motivate further the determination of the necessary conditions that mark the onset of the QGP phase. Intermediate systems, like pO and OO, will be invaluable to a successful unified particle production description from small (pp) to larger (AA) systems. Signatures of medium-induced modifications in the hard sector were, so far, unexistent, or quite limited, putting additional stress on the accurate determination of theoretical and experimental uncertainties. In this talk, we aim to discuss novel theoretical and experimental methodologies, focusing on pO and OO, to characterise the short-wavelength QGP properties with unprecedented precision.
