Abstract

In these proceedings we discuss PHENIX results on small systems at RHIC, specifically those relating to collectivity and flow. We discuss the small systems geometry scan, which comprises collisions of p+Au, d+Au, and 3He+Au at and is designed to exploit differences in intrinsic geometry. We also discuss the small systems beam energy scan, which comprises d+Au collisions at , 62.4 GeV, 39 GeV, and 19.6 GeV and is designed to explore differences in system size and lifetime while keeping the geometry fixed. We find the data in nearly all cases are well-described by hydrodynamical calculations involving a QGP phase, suggestion formation of QGP droplets in a wide variety of collisions.
