Particle production and flow-like effects in small systems

Abstract

Particle production in small systems (pp and p-Pb collisions) has unveiled unexpected collective-like behavior. In this work an overview of the current investigation on the similarities between small systems and heavy-ion collisions is presented. Recent results from the experiments at the LHC are discussed. They include measurements of multi-particle correlations, as well as, identified particle production as a function of charged-particle multiplicity density, and more recently, as a function of transverse spherocity.
