Abstract

In this paper we show azimuthal particle correlations in three different small-system collisions with different intrinsic initial geometries. The simultaneous constraints of v2v_2 and v3v_3 in p/d/3p/d/^3He++Au collisions definitively demonstrate that the vnv_n's are correlated to the initial geometry. In addition, we find that hydrodynamical models which include QGP formation describe simultaneouly the elliptic and triangular flow data in a statistically acceptable manner in all three systems.
