• Eccentricity scaling is broken and v2/ɛ depends on the Knudsen number K=λ/Ṝ, where λ is the mean free path and Ṝ is the transverse size of the system. How viscous damping depends on the size of the colliding system / beam energy?

- Viscous Hydrodynamics

Slope parameter β″ is nearly the same for Au+Au at 62.4-200 GeV, but shows change from Au+Au to Cu+Cu at 200 GeV . Bigger viscous damping in smaller systems / different beam energy dependence?

Summary

• V2 and V3 studied in different colliding systems: Au+Au/Cu+Cu and Cu+Au:

– Similar magnitudes and trends observed both v2 and v3, independent of system

– Viscous damping effects appear to be larger for smaller systems

• The ridge is observed in d+Au and 3He+Au. – Similar magnitudes observed for v2– v3 signal observed for 3He+Au– Mass ordering observed; splitting less than observed at LHC

• The vn of identified charged hadrons presented as a function of pT and centrality

– Mass ordering for all harmonics at all centralities studied – Measurements can be scaled by generalized quark number
