Collectivity in small systems - Initial state vs. final state effects
Content
Observations of long rang azimuthal correlations in small collision systems (p+p/A) have triggered an enormous excitement in the heavy-ion community. However, it is presently unclear to what extent the experimentally observed correlations should be attributed to initial state momentum correlations and/or the final state response to the initial state geometry. In this talk I will provide a brief overview of the competing explanations, and outline possible ways to quantify the relative importance of initial state and final state effects.
