TL;DR
This paper predicts specific event-plane correlation patterns in small colliding systems like d-Au, $^3$He-Au, and p-Pb collisions, serving as tests for collective behavior and geometry-driven effects.
Contribution
It introduces event-plane correlations as a novel method to test collectivity in small systems, highlighting geometry and fluctuations as key factors.
Findings
Strong anti-correlation between elliptic and triangular flow in light projectile collisions.
Significant anti-correlation in central p-Pb collisions driven by fluctuations.
Predicted stronger correlation patterns involving dipolar flow.
Abstract
I propose event-plane correlations as a test of collectivity in small colliding systems: In d-Au and He-Au collisions, I predict a strong anti-correlation between elliptic and triangular flow, generated by the geometry of the light projectile. A significant anti-correlation is also predicted in central p-Pb collisions at the LHC, which is solely generated by fluctuations. Similar, but stronger correlation patterns are predicted in correlations involving dipolar flow.
