A unified description of the reaction dynamics : Comparing pPb and PbPb collisions at the LHC

Description
Summary:	There is little doubt that in heavy ion collisions at the LHC, we observe a hydrodynamically expanding system, providing strong evidence for the formation of a Quark Gluon Plasma (QGP) in the early stage of such collisions. These observations are to a large extent based on results on azimuthal anisotropies, perfectly compatible with a hydrodynamic evolution. Surprisingly, in p-Pb collisions one observes a very similar behavior. Motivated by the experimentally observed similarities of vn results in pPb and PbPb collisions at similar multiplicities at the LHC [1], we analyze these findings using the EPOS3 approach.
