Size of the emission source and collectivity in ultra-relativistic p-Pb collisions

arXiv:1301.3314 · doi:10.1016/j.physletb.2013.02.014

Abstract

The interferometric radii in the system formed in ultra-relativistic proton-lead collisions are investigated in a framework based on event-by-event 3+1 dimensional viscous hydrodynamics. We argue that the most central p-Pb collisions undergoing collective expansion behave similarly to the peripheral nucleus-nucleus collisions. The interferometric observables can serve as signatures of the formation of an extended fireball.
