Abstract
The elliptic (${v}_{2}$) and triangular (${v}_{3}$) azimuthal anisotropy coefficients in central $^{3}\mathrm{He}+\mathrm{Au}$, $d+\mathrm{Au}$, and $p+\mathrm{Au}$ collisions at $\sqrt{{s}_{\mathrm{NN}}}=200\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{GeV}$ are measured as a function of transverse momentum (${p}_{T}$) at midrapidity ($|\ensuremath{\eta}|<0.9$), via the azimuthal angular correlation between two particles both at $|\ensuremath{\eta}|<0.9$. While the ${v}_{2}({p}_{T})$ values depend on the colliding systems, the ${v}_{3}({p}_{T})$ values are system independent within the uncertainties, suggesting an influence on eccentricity from subnucleonic fluctuations in these small-sized systems. These results also provide stringent constraints for the hydrodynamic modeling of these systems.
