Abstract:
In this note, we discuss how the future HL-LHC program will enable highly precise measurements of flow observables in small systems. Projections of the statistical uncertainties achievable for symmetric cumulant analyses at s=13\sqrt{\text{s}} = 13 TeV for pp collisions and at sNN=5.02\sqrt{\text{s}_{NN}} = 5.02 TeV for pPb collisions are presented. The improvement in the symmetric cumulant precision by increasing the pp beam energy to 14 TeV, while extending the CMS tracker pseudorapidity coverage to η<4|\eta| < 4, is also shown. In addition, we show how the HL-LHC will allow for elliptic flow measurements of D0D^0 and J/ψJ/\psi mesons in 8.16 TeV pPb collisions that are a factor of two more precise than currently possible.
