Small System Collectivity in Relativistic Hadron and Nuclear Collisions
read the original abstract
The bulk motion of nuclear matter at the ultra-high temperatures created in heavy-ion collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider and the Large Hadron Collider is well described in terms of nearly inviscid hydrodynamics, thereby establishing this system of quarks and gluons as the most perfect fluid in nature. A revolution in the field is underway, spearheaded by the discovery of similar collective, fluid-like phenomena in much smaller systems including p+p, p+A, d+Au, and $^3$He$+$Au collisions. We review these exciting new observations and their implications.

Observation of suppressed charged-particle production in ultrarelativistic oxygen-oxygen collisions
First measurement of the nuclear modification factor R_AA in OO collisions at 5.36 TeV shows suppression with a minimum of 0.69 at p_T around 6 GeV, favoring models with parton energy loss.

Bayesian Constraints on Pre-Equilibrium Jet Quenching and Predictions for Oxygen Collisions
Bayesian constraints on early-time jet quenching from large collision systems yield predictions of measurable energy loss in oxygen-oxygen collisions.

Effectiveness of nonflow suppression using multi-particle correlators
Toy models show multi-particle correlators can increase rather than reduce deviation from true flow harmonics in small collision systems.

Sequential Y(nS) suppression in high-multiplicity pp collisions: the experimental case for an early, globally correlated medium
Multi-differential tests on Υ(nS) and ψ(2S)/J/ψ suppression in high-multiplicity pp collisions rule out standard hadronic and string models in favor of an early globally correlated partonic medium.

Equilibrated fraction of QCD matter in high-energy oxygen--oxygen collisions
The equilibrated core in O+O collisions overtakes the nonequilibrium corona above midrapidity multiplicity of about 20, yet corona contributions persist in central events, making pure hydrodynamics inadequate.

Characterization of nuclear breakup as a function of hard-scattering kinematics using dijets measured by ATLAS in $p$+Pb collisions
Dijet-tagged p+Pb collisions at 8.16 TeV show that Pb-going FCal transverse energy is approximately six times more sensitive to proton Bjorken-x than ZDC energy deposition.
