small collision systems? If so, can we fit small system collectivity using current hydro models? First question precludes the second, but also more difficult to answer. Let’s tackle the second question assuming hydrodynamic models make sense down to length scales ∆x = .2 fm. Under this assumption, does a unified hydrodynamic description of p+A and A+A data even exist? η ∆ -4 -2 0 2 4 (radians) φ ∆ 0 2 4 φ ∆ d η ∆ d pair N 2 d trig N 1 2.4 2.6 2.8 < 260 offline trk N ≤ = 2.76 TeV, 220 NN s (a) CMS PbPb < 3 GeV/c trig T 1 < p < 3 GeV/c assoc T 1 < p η ∆ -4 -2 0 2 4 (radians) φ ∆ 0 2 4 φ ∆ d η ∆ d pair N 2 d trig N 1 3.1 3.2 3.3 3.4 < 260 offline trk N ≤ = 5.02 TeV, 220 NN s (b) CMS pPb < 3 GeV/c trig T 1 < p < 3 GeV/c assoc T 1 < p J.
