Opacity dependence of elliptic flow in kinetic theory

Abstract The observation of large azimuthal anisotropies $$v_n$$ vn in the particle spectra of proton–proton (pp) and proton–nucleus (pA) collisions challenges fluid dynamic interpretations of $$v_n$$ vn , as it remains unclear how small collision systems can hydrodynamize and to what extent hydrody...
