The subtraction was performed either by a “template fit”, which includes the pedestal level from the ⟨Nch⟩ < 20 events, or by a “peripheral subtraction”, which sets the pedestal level by a zero-yield at minimum (ZYAM) procedure \begin{center} {\large Systematic study of small system collectivity from STAR} \vspace{8mm} {Shengli Huang, Prithwish Tribedy} %\affiliation{Department of Chemistry, State University of New York, Stony Brook, New York 11794, USA} %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \end{center} \linenumbers How collectivity originates and evolves with collision system size is a highly debated topic in the heavy ion community. To address this, we propose the study of collision systems with decreasing system sizes: Ru+Ru/Zr+Zr $>$ $^{3}$He+Au $>$ d+Au $>$ p+Au $>$ p+p $>$ $\gamma$+Au. We present results on the elliptic ($v_2$) and triangular ($v_3$) anisotropy on p+Au, d+Au and $^{3}$He+Au collisions at 200 GeV with a comprehensive evaluation of the non-flow effects using different subtraction methods with the minimum-bias p+p collisions as a reference. We find $v_3$ to be weakly dependent on the system and centrality. This puts constraints on shape engineering at nucleon scale and provides strong evidence of fluctuations at the sub-nucleon scale. In addition to the results obtained from the mid-rapidity acceptance ($|\eta|<$1), we also use the Event Plane detector over 2.1$<|\eta|<$5.1 to investigate the potential influence of longitudinal flow de-correlations using peripheral Ru+Ru/Zr+Zr data. Our key addition of photo-nuclear ($\gamma$+Au) processes can push the boundaries of small systems scan at RHIC. Measurements on long-range di-hadron correlations and harmonic anisotropy coefficients in high activity $\gamma$+Au-rich events are presented to search for evidences of collectivity. \end{document}
