| Abstract: The azimuthal anisotropy Fourier coefficients ($v_n$) in 8.16 TeV pPb data are extracted via long-range two-particle correlations as a function of event multiplicity and compared to corresponding results in pp and PbPb collisions. Using a four-particle cumulant technique, $v_n$ correlations are measured for the first time in pp and pPb collisions. The $v_2$ and $v_4$ coefficients are found to be positively correlated in all collision systems. For high multiplicity pPb collisions an anticorrelation of $v_2$ and $v_3$ is observed, with a similar correlation strength as in PbPb data at the same multiplicity. The new correlation results strengthen the case for a common origin of the collectivity seen in pPb and PbPb collisions in the measured multiplicity range. | ||

| Summary |
| In summary, the first measurements of azimuthal anisotropy Fourier coefficients and correlations of different coefficients in pPb collisions at $\sqrt{\smash[b]{s_{_\mathrm{NN}}}} = $ 8.16 TeV are presented based on data collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC. The $v_2$, $v_3$, and $v_4$ Fourier coefficients are extracted from long-range two-particle correlations in classes of event multiplicity, and are found to be consistent with pPb data at $\sqrt{\smash[b]{s_{_\mathrm{NN}}}} = $ 5.02 TeV. The pPb results are compared to those in pp at $ \sqrt{\smash[b]{s}} = $13 TeV and PbPb at $\sqrt{\smash[b]{s_{_\mathrm{NN}}}} = $ 5.02 TeV. Using a four-particle cumulant technique, correlations of different coefficient orders are obtained, where a negative (positive) correlation is observed between $v_2$ and $v_3$ ($v_4$) in pPb collisions. This behavior is similar to what is observed in the PbPb system, where the result is attributed to the hydrodynamic flow of a strongly interacting medium. Normalized correlation coefficients for $v_2$ and $v_3$ are found to be quantitatively similar between pPb and PbPb, while for $v_2$ and $v_4$ the results are larger in PbPb than in PbPb. The corresponding result in pp collisions shows a similar trend at high multiplicity but the statistical uncertainties are too large to make a quantitative statement. The results presented in this Letter provide further evidence of a similar origin of collectivity observed in small and large hadronic systems and impose constraints on theoretical model calculations. |
