摘要
We determine the transverse system size of the initial nonequilibrium Glasma state and of the hydrodynamically evolving fireball as a function of produced charged particles in p + p, p + Pb, and Pb + Pb collisions at the Large Hadron Collider. Our results show features similar to those of recent measurements of Hanbury Brown-Twiss (HBT) radii by the ALICE Collaboration. Azimuthal anisotropy coefficients v(n) generated by combining the early time Glasma dynamics with viscous fluid dynamics in Pb + Pb collisions are in excellent agreement with experimental data for a wide range of centralities. In particular, event-by-event distributions of the vn values agree with the experimental data out to fairly peripheral centrality bins. In striking contrast, our results for p + Pb collisions significantly underestimate the magnitude and do not reproduce the centrality dependence of data for v 2 and v 3 coefficients. We argue that the measured vn data and HBT radii strongly constrain the shapes of initial parton distributions across system sizes that would be compatible with a flow interpretation in p + Pb collisions. Alternately, additional sources of correlations may be required to describe the systematics of long-range rapidity correlations in p + p and p + Pb collisions.
