Multidimensional analysis of Bose-Einstein correlations in pp collisions at 2.76 and 7 TeV

Abstract

Two-particle, quantum-statistical (Bose-Einstein) correlations are measured in multidimensional projections of the pair relative momentum. The measurement extends previously performed one-dimensional studies to two- and three-dimensions for the 7 TeV data, and presents for the first time for the $\sqrt s = $2.76 TeV data collected in 2013 at the CERN LHC. The measurements are performed at both energies for different intervals of the pair average momentum and for increasing charged particle multiplicitiy. The fit parameters corresponding to the estimated lengths of homogeneity and chaoticity parameters are presented.

Fig_2a.png Fig_2b.png Results of the exponential fits to the double ratios in different $N_{ch}$ and $k_{T}$ bins are shown for pp collisions at 2.76 TeV and for the present analysis with full sample at 7 TeV. The left plot shows the values obtained for the intercept parameter, $\lambda$, and the right one, the corresponding values for the invariant radius fit parameter, $R_{inv}$. The statistical uncertainties are indicated by error bars (which in some cases are smaller than the marker's size), whereas the systematic ones are indicated by empty (2.76 TeV data) or shaded boxes (7 TeV data).

clic_k on it to get it Fit parameter $R_{inv}$ is shown as a function of the charged particle multiplicity, $N_{ch}$ for pp collisions at 2.76 TeV and for the the present analysis at 7 TeV. As seen in the plot, the new results increase proportionally to $N^{1/3}_{ch}$, showing a similar dependence on the charged multiplicity as the ones previously obtained at both 0.9 and 7 TeV in Ref. [1], also shown in the plot. The inner error bars represent the statistical uncertainties (which in some cases are smaller than the marker's size) and the outer error bars the statistical and systematic uncertainties added in quadrature.

Fig_4b.png The anticorrelation’s depth, $\Delta$, is quantified in the plot on the bottom by the difference of the base-line function, C(1 + $\delta$ q), and the $\tau$ model fit function calculated at the minimum. The inner error bars represent the statistical uncertainties (which in some cases are smaller than the marker's size) and the outer error bars the statistical and systematic uncertainties added in quadrature. The results are shown for pp collisions at 2.76 TeV and for the present analysis at 7 TeV, together with those from Ref. [1], corresponding to pp collisions at both 0.9 and 7 TeV.

Fig_5c.png Fig_5d.png The right panel shows the corresponding 1-D projections of the single and double ratios in terms of $q^*_{L}$ (for $q_{T}$ < 0.05 GeV) and $q_{T}$ (for $q^*_{L}$ < 0.05 GeV). The Gaussian, the exponential and the Levy (with a = 1) fit functions are shown superimposed to the data points.
