Probing the onset of hydrodynamization in peripheral p-Pb collisions at 5.02 TeV
Using the JETSCAPE event generator to simulate peripheral p-Pb collisions at 5.02 TeV, this study estimates the minimum size for Quark-Gluon Plasma hydrodynamization by analyzing elliptic flow fluctuations, which indicate a breakdown of fluid behavior at a charged-particle multiplicity of approximately .
