摘要： The elliptic azimuthal anisotropy coefficient ($v_{2}$) of the identified particles at midrapidity ($ eta <0.8$) was investigated in p--Pb collisions at $ sqrt{s_ mathrm{NN}}=$ 5.02 TeV using a multi-phase transport model (AMPT). The calculations of differential $v_{2}$ based on the advanced flow extraction method of light flavor hadrons (pions, kaons, protons, and $ Lambda$) in small collision systems were extended to a wider transverse momentum ($p_{ mathrm{T}}$) range of up to 8 GeV/$c$ for the first time. The string- melting version of the AMPT model provides a good description of the measured $p_{ mathrm{T}}$-differential $v_{2}$ of the mesons but exhibits a slight deviation from the baryon $v_{2}$. In addition, we observed the features of mass ordering at low $p_{ mathrm{T}}$ and the approximate number of constituent quarks (NCQ) scaled at intermediate $p_{ mathrm{T}}$. Moreover, we demonstrate that hadronic rescattering does not have a significant impact on $v_{2}$ in p--Pb collisions for different centrality selections, whereas partonic scattering dominates in generating the elliptic anisotropy of the final particles. This study provides further insight into the origin of collective-like behavior in small collision systems and has referential value for future measurements of azimuthal anisotropy.
