Study of collective flow of inclusive muons in p–Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}$ = 8.16 TeV with ALICE

This work focuses on the results obtained from the ALICE muon spectrometer for the measurement of the elliptic flow of muons at forward rapidity in p–Pb collisions at 8.16 TeV. The muon triggered data sample that was used, gave the minimum-bias data sample, as well as sufficient statistics at intermediate and high $p_T$ . The correction for the non-uniform detector appearance was performed and the Generic Q-cumulant method for 2- and 4-particle correlations was applied to get the elliptic flow of inclusive muons. From the results of the elliptic flow, it was suggested that the observed hydrodynamic-like particle correlations at high multiplicity in small systems may come out from the same underlying physics mechanisms as that in heavy-ion collisions.
