Description
Hydrodynamics is the accepted framework to describe the
evolution of systems created in relativistic heavy-ion collisions. In
smaller collision systems, such as proton-lead and proton-proton
collisions, other, non-hydrodynamic explanations for the
experimentally observed flow signals have been suggested. So which
explanation is right or are they both? In this talk I review the
applicability of hydrodynamics to small systems, and the conclusions
one can draw for the origin of experimental flow signals in small
collision systems.
