Abstract

We calculate the kk-particle (k=2,4,6,8k=2,4,6,8) azimuthal cumulants resulting from the conservation of transverse momentum. We find that c2{k}>0c_2\{k\}>0 and depending on the transverse momenta, c2{k}c_2\{k\} can reach substantial values even for a relatively large number of particles. The impact of our results on the understanding of the onset of collectivity in small systems is emphasized.
