Experimental Results on p(d)+A Collisions at RHIC and the LHC
Anne M. Sickles
TL;DR
Recent experimental data from RHIC and LHC suggest hydrodynamic behavior in small collision systems like p+A, prompting new measurements to understand the underlying physics and whether similar matter is produced as in larger A+A collisions.
Contribution
This paper presents new experimental results on p(d)+A collisions and discusses their interpretation within the context of heavy ion collision physics.
Findings
Evidence of hydrodynamic behavior in p+A collisions
Comparison of p+A and A+A collision outcomes
Implications for understanding quark-gluon plasma formation
Abstract
Recent experimental results at both the LHC and RHIC show evidence for hydrodynamic behavior in proton-nucleus and deuteron- nucleus collisions (p+A). This unexpected finding has prompted new measurements in p+A collisions in order to understand whether similar matter is created in A+A and p+A collisions or whether some another explanation is needed. In this proceedings, we will discuss the new experimental data and its interpretation within the context of heavy ion collisions.
