Flow coefficients in O-O, Al-Al, and Cu-Cu collisions at 200 GeV in the fusing color string model

In view of the planning experiments for collisions of light nuclei at relativistic heavy ion collider, the flow coefficients for O-O, Al-Al, and Cu-Cu collisions are studied in the color string percolation model. Our results for $v_2$ are somewhat smaller than predicted by other groups, although with the same dependence on centrality. Our obtained $v_3$ lie between predictions of other groups.
