The presence of correlations between particles significantly separated in pseudorapidity in proton-proton and proton-nucleus collisions has raised questions about whether collective effects are observed in small collision systems as well as in heavy-ion collisions. The quantification of these long-range correlations by $v_n$ coefficients is of particular interest. A selection of the latest $v_n$ measurements is presented, including results from the recent $d$+Au beam energy scan at RHIC where a significant non-zero $v_2$ is measured down to low center-of-mass energies ($sqrt{s_{rm{NN}}}$ = 39 GeV). Results from a collision system scan - comprising $p$+Au, $d$+Au, and $^3$He+Au collisions - are also shown to address the role of the initial nuclear geometry in the final state anisotropy. Finally, the challenge of measuring multi-particle cumulants, particularly $c_2{4}$, in $p$+$p$ collisions is discussed, and new methods for reducing the effects of non-flow are shown to produce a more robust measurement of $v_2{4}$ in $p$+$p$ collisions.

We perform 3+1D viscous hydrodynamic calculations of proton-lead and lead-lead collisions at top LHC energy. We show that existing data from high-multiplicity p-Pb events can be well described in hydrodynamics, suggesting that collective flow is plau
sible as a correct description of these collisions. However, a more stringent test of the presence of hydrodynamic behavior can be made by studying the detailed momentum dependence of two-particle correlations. We define a relevant observable, $r_n$, and make predictions for its value and centrality dependence if hydrodynamics is a valid description. This will provide a non-trivial confirmation of the nature of the correlations seen in small collision systems, and potentially to determine where the hydrodynamic description, if valid anywhere, stops being valid. Lastly, we probe what can be learned from this observable, finding that it is insensitive to viscosity, but sensitive to aspects of the initial state of the system that other observables are insensitive to, such as the transverse length scale of the fluctuations in the initial stages of the collision.
Recent measurements of charm-baryon production at midrapidity by the ALICE collaboration show baryon-to-meson yield ratios significantly higher than those measured in $rm e^+e^-$ collisions, suggesting that the charm fragmentations are not universal
across different collisions systems. Thus, measurements of charm-baryon production are crucial to study the charm quark hadronisation in proton--proton (pp) collisions. In proton--lead (p--Pb) collisions, the measurements of charm baryons provide important information about cold nuclear matter effects and help to understand how the possible presence of collective effects could modify the production of heavy-flavour hadrons. In this contribution, the most recent results on open charm-hadron production in pp and p--Pb collisions measured by ALICE are discussed.
We study the data on mean hadron yields and contrast the chemical freezeout conditions in p+p, p+Pb and Pb+Pb at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) energies. We study several schemes for freezeout that mainly differ in the way strangeness is treated: i.
strangeness freezes out along with the non-strange hadrons in complete equilibrium (1CFO), ii. strangeness freezes out along with non-strange hadrons with an additional parameter $gamma_S$ accounting for non-equilibrium production of strangeness (1CFO+$gamma_S$), and iii. strangeness freezes out earlier than non-strange hadrons and in thermal equilibrium (2CFO). A comparison of the chisquares of the fits indicate a dependence of the freezeout scheme on the system size. The minimum bias p+p and different centralities of p+Pb and peripheral Pb+Pb data prefer 1CFO$+gamma_S$ with $gamma_S$ approaching unity as we go from p+p to central p+Pb and peripheral Pb+Pb. On the other hand, the mid-central to central Pb+Pb data prefer 2CFO over 1CFO+$gamma_S$. Such system size dependence of freezeout scheme could be an indication of the additional interaction in Pb+Pb over p+Pb and p+p.
It is shown that de-confinement can be achieved in high multiplicity non jet $bar{p}$p collisions at $sqrt{s}$= 1.8 TeV Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory(FNAL- E735) experiment. Previously the evidence for de-confinement was the demonstrated by t
he constant freeze out energy density in high multiplicity events. In this paper we use the same data but analyze the transverse momentum spectrum in the framework of the clustering of color sources. The charged particle pseudorapidities densities in the range 7.0 $leq langle dN_{c}/deta rangle leq$26.0 are considered. Results are presented for both thermodynamic and transport properties. The initial temperature and energy density are obtained and compared with the Lattice Quantum Chromo Dynamics(LQCD) simulations. The energy density ($varepsilon/T^{4}$) $sim$ 11.5 for $ langle dN_{c}/deta rangle sim $ 25.0 is close to the value for 0-10% central events in Au+Au collisions at $sqrt{s_{NN}}$= 200 GeV. The shear viscosity to entropy density ratio($eta/s$) is $sim$ 0.2 at the transition temperature. The result for the trace anomaly $Delta$ is in excellent agreement with LQCD simulations. These results confirm our earlier observation that the de-confined state of matter was created in high multiplicity events in $bar{p}$p collisions at $sqrt{s}$=1.8 TeV.
An extensive experimental survey of the features of the disassembly of a small quasi-projectile system with $A sim$ 36, produced in the reactions of 47 MeV/nucleon $^{40}$Ar + $^{27}$Al, $^{48}$Ti and $^{58}$Ni, has been carried out. Nuclei in the ex
citation energy range of 1-9 MeV/u have been investigated employing a new method to reconstruct the quasi-projectile source. At an excitation energy $sim$ 5.6 MeV/nucleon many observables indicate the presence of maximal fluctuations in the de-excitation processes. The fragment topological structure shows that the rank sorted fragments obey Zipfs law at the point of largest fluctuations providing another indication of a liquid gas phase transition. The caloric curve for this system shows a monotonic increase of temperature with excitation energy and no apparent plateau. The temperature at the point of maximal fluctuations is $8.3 pm 0.5$ MeV. Taking this temperature as the critical temperature and employing the caloric curve information we have extracted the critical exponents $beta$, $gamma$ and $sigma$ from the data. Their values are also consistent with the values of the universality class of the liquid gas phase transition. Taken together, this body of evidence strongly suggests a phase change in an equilibrated mesoscopic system at, or extremely close to, the critical point.
