Description
We present novel predictions for high-$p_T$ heavy flavour $D$ and $B$ meson suppression in $p + p$, $p + A$, $d + A$ and $A + A$ collisions at RHIC and the LHC. These predictions are made using a one-parameter convolved elastic and radiative energy loss model, which receives small system size corrections to both the elastic and radiative energy loss. We simultaneously predict the observed light flavour pion $R_{AA}$ in both Au + Au and $d$ + Au collisions at RHIC, providing additional supporting evidence that QGP is formed in high-multiplicity $d$ + Au collisions at $\sqrt{s}=200$ AGeV. Our results are also consistent with the suppression of both light and heavy flavours in Pb + Pb collisions at the LHC. We are unable to reproduce the observed lack of suppression in high-multiplicity $p$ + Pb collisions at the LHC. We propose that a system size scan will help separate radiative and elastic dominated suppression, as well as various theoretical uncertainties in HTL-based elastic energy loss. Predictions, along with a detailed theoretical uncertainty analysis, are presented for such a future system size scan including $p+p$, $p+A$, $d + A$, $^{3}\mathrm{He} + A$ , $p+\mathrm{O}$, $\mathrm{O} + \mathrm{O}$, $\mathrm{Xe} + \mathrm{Xe}$, and $\mathrm{Pb} + \mathrm{Pb}$ collision systems.
