In view of the planning experiments for collisions of light nuclei at RHIC the flow coefficients for O-O, Al-AL and Cu-Cu collisions are studied in the color string percolation model. Our results for $v_2$ are somewhat smaller than predicted by other groups although with the same dependence on centrality. Our obtained $v_3$ lie between predictions of other groups.

In the color string picture with fusion and percolation the elliptic and triangular flows are studied for p-Au and d-Au collisions at 200 GeV. The ordering $v_n(d-Au)>v_n(p-Au)$ observed experimentally for central collisions is reproduced.The calculated elliptic flow $v_2$ at central collisions agrees satisfactorily with thedata. The triangular flow $v_3$ is found to be greater than the experimental values, similar to the resultsobtained in the approach based on the Color Glass Condensate initial conditions with subsequenthydrodynamical evolution.
We have measured direct photons for $p_T<5~$GeV/$c$ in minimum bias and 0%--40% most central events at midrapidity for Cu$+$Cu collisions at $sqrt{s_{_{NN}}}=200$ GeV. The $e^{+}e^{-}$ contribution from quasi-real direct virtual photons has been determined as an excess over the known hadronic contributions in the $e^{+}e^{-}$ mass distribution. A clear enhancement of photons over the binary scaled $p$$+$$p$ fit is observed for $p_T<4$ GeV/$c$ in Cu$+$Cu data. The $p_T$ spectra are consistent with the Au$+$Au data covering a similar number of participants. The inverse slopes of the exponential fits to the excess after subtraction of the $p$$+$$p$ baseline are 285$pm$53(stat)$pm$57(syst)~MeV/$c$ and 333$pm$72(stat)$pm$45(syst)~MeV/$c$ for minimum bias and 0%--40% most central events, respectively. The rapidity density, $dN/dy$, of photons demonstrates the same power law as a function of $dN_{rm ch}/deta$ observed in Au$+$Au at the same collision energy.
We use the string melting version of a multi-phase transport (AMPT) model to study Cu+Au collisions at $sqrt{s_{NN}}=200$ GeV. The rapidity distributions of identified hadrons show asymmetric dependences on rapidity. In addition, elliptic and triangular flows at mid-rapidity from the AMPT model for pions, kaons, and protons agree reasonably with the experimental data up to $p_{T}sim1$ GeV$/c$. We then investigate the forward/backward asymmetry of $v_2$ and $v_3$. We find that these anisotropic flows are larger on the Au-going side than the Cu-going side, while the asymmetry tends to go away in very peripheral collisions. We also make predictions on transverse momentum spectra of identified hadrons and longitudinal decorrelations of charged particles, where the average decorrelation of elliptic flow in asymmetric Cu+Au collisions is found to be stronger than that in Au+Au collisions.
In the color string picture with fusion and percolation the dependence of the flow coefficients $v_n$ on the transverse momentum is studied for pp collisions the LHC energy respectively. Monte-Carlo simulations are used to locate simple strings and their fused clusters. The results favorably agree with the CMS data in the region $0.2 le p_tle 3.$ GeV/c appropriate for the string scenario.
Yields for J/psi production in Cu+Cu collisions at sqrt (s_NN)= 200 GeV have been measured by the PHENIX experiment over the rapidity range |y| < 2.2 at transverse momenta from 0 to beyond 5 GeV/c. The invariant yield is obtained as a function of rapidity, transverse momentum and collision centrality, and compared with results in p+p and Au+Au collisions at the same energy. The Cu+Cu data provide greatly improved precision over existing Au+Au data for J/psi production in collisions with small to intermediate numbers of participants, providing a key constraint that is needed for disentangling cold and hot nuclear matter effects.
