Experimental Results on p(d)+A Collisions at RHIC and the LHC

Abstract

Recent experimental results at both the LHC and RHIC show evidence for hydrodynamic behavior in proton-nucleus and deuteron- nucleus collisions (p+A). This unexpected finding has prompted new measurements in p+A collisions in order to understand whether similar matter is created in A+A and p+A collisions or whether some another explanation is needed. In this proceedings, we will discuss the new experimental data and its interpretation within the context of heavy ion collisions.
