Evidence for collectivity in pp collisions at the LHC
Phys. Lett. B 765 (2017) 193
Abstract: Measurements of two- and multi-particle angular correlations in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s} = $ 5, 7, and 13 TeV are presented as a function of charged-particle multiplicity. The data, corresponding to integrated luminosities of 1.0 pb$^{-1}$ (5 TeV), 6.2 pb$^{-1}$ (7 TeV), and 0.7 pb$^{-1}$ (13 TeV), were collected using the CMS detector at the LHC. The second-order ($v_2$) and third-order ($v_3$) azimuthal anisotropy harmonics of unidentified charged particles, as well as $v_2$ of $\mathrm{ K_S }^0$ and $\Lambda/\overline{\Lambda}$ particles, are extracted from long-range two-particle correlations as functions of particle multiplicity and transverse momentum. For high-multiplicity pp events, a mass ordering is observed for the $v_2$ values of charged hadrons (mostly pions), $\mathrm{ K_S }^0$, and $\Lambda/\overline{\Lambda}$, with lighter particle species exhibiting a stronger azimuthal anisotropy signal below $p_{\mathrm{T}} \approx 2$ GeV/$c$. For 13 TeV data, the $v_2$ signals are also extracted from four- and six-particle correlations for the first time in pp collisions, with comparable magnitude to those from two-particle correlations. These observations are similar to those seen in pPb and PbPb collisions, and support the interpretation of a collective origin for the observed long-range correlations in high-multiplicity pp collisions.

Summary
The CMS detector has been used to measure two- and multi-particle azimuthal correlations with $\mathrm{ K_S }^0$, $\Lambda/\overline{\Lambda}$ and inclusive charged particles over a broad pseudorapidity and transverse momentum range in pp collisions at ${\sqrt{s}} = $ 5, 7, and 13 TeV. With the implementation of high-multiplicity triggers during the LHC 2010 and 2015 pp runs, the correlation data are explored over a broad particle multiplicity range. The observed long-range ($| {\Delta\eta} | > $ 2 ) correlations are quantified in terms of azimuthal anisotropy Fourier harmonics ($v_n$). The elliptic ($v_2$) and triangular ($v_3$) flow Fourier harmonics are extracted from long-range two-particle correlations. After subtracting contributions from back-to-back jet correlations estimated using low-multiplicity data, the $v_2$ and $v_3$ values are found to increase with multiplicity for ${N_\text{trk}^\text{offline}} \le $ 100, and reach a relatively constant value at higher values of ${N_\text{trk}^\text{offline}} $. The $ p_{\mathrm{T}} $ dependence of the $v_2$ harmonics in high-multiplicity pp events is found to have no or very weak dependence on the collision energy. In low-multiplicity events, similar $v_2$ values as a function of $ p_{\mathrm{T}} $ are observed for inclusive charged particles, $\mathrm{ K_S }^0$ and $\Lambda/\overline{\Lambda}$, possibly reflecting a common back-to-back jet origin of the correlations for all particle species. Moving to the higher-multiplicity region, a particle species dependence of $v_2$ is observed with and without correcting for jet correlations. For $p_{\mathrm{T}} \le$ 2 GeV/$c$, the $v_2$ of $\mathrm{ K_S }^0$ is found to be larger than that of $\Lambda/\overline{\Lambda}$. This behavior, which is consistent with predictions of hydrodynamic models, is similar to what was previously observed for identified particles produced in pPb and AA collisions at RHIC and the LHC. This mass ordering is reversed at higher $ p_{\mathrm{T}} $ values. Finally, $v_2$ signals based on four- and six-particle correlations are observed for the first time in pp collisions. The $v_2$ values obtained with two-, four-, and six-particle correlations at ${\sqrt{s}} = $ 13 TeV are found to be comparable within uncertainties. These observations provide strong evidence supporting the interpretation of a collective origin for the observed long-range correlations in high-multiplicity pp collisions.
