Abstract: (Acta Physica Polonica B Editorial Office)
We employ an effective kinetic description to study the space-time dynamics and development of the transverse flow of small and large collision systems. By combining analytical insights in the few interactions limit with numerical simulations at higher opacity, we are able to describe the development of transverse flow from very small to very large opacities, realised in small and large collision systems. Surprisingly, we find that deviations between kinetic theory and hydrodynamics persist even within the limit of very large interaction rates, which can be attributed to the presence of the early pre-equilibrium phase.
