G. Roland’s talk
No such structure is seen in Monte Carlo simulations : PYTHIA8, PHYTHIA6, Herwig++, MadGraph
The effect is small, but clearly seen for large and multiplicities > 90 It is most pronounced at intermediate pT (1–3 GeV/c) It is the first observation of such an effect in pp (or p-pbar) collisions Further studies ongoing for a better understanding of the effect The heavy ion run will provide additional input
Experimental summary
• A peak at relative angle• Wide distribution in pseudo-rapidity• Most obvious for particles with 1<pT<3 GeV/c
• Spectrum of secondaries harder than a bulk one• A composition very different from jets

hard ridge explanations -- jet interactions with matter
soft ridge -- similar but no jet -- collective behavior
Theoretical explanations for ridgein AuAu collisions
Ridge in pp collisionsby Edward Shuryak
• Independent string breaking -> small , arbitrary
• If the string moves as a whole->a ridge can be seen in all events. But the data show ridge is there only for events with high multiplicity
• Explosion for Nch>100 in CMS? Can hydrodynamics be applied to pp collisions?
Our consideration on ridgefor AuAu collisions
• Without using hydrodynamics explicitly• Semihard scattering near the surface is the
driving force of the azimuthal anisotropy• The lost energy from (mini)jets heats the
medium system• This heating effect depends on the position of
the semihard scattering point• The enhanced soft medium->ridge
Ridge in pp collisions shows
• Soft partons of high density created (?)• Those soft partons affect passage of jets• Origin of ridge in pp collisions at CMS may be
the same as in AuAu collisions at RHIC
• Initial fluctuations• Transverse momentum
conservation• Correlation induced by hadro-
fluctuations
Initial fluctuations
•originate at the earliest stages of the collision
•information on particle production mechanism
• Correlated Particles come from the same tube
Cross sectional slices are the same
What’s the pT dependence of correlations?Why long range correlations can be seen only in high multiplicity events?
Transverse momentum conservation
• With suitably parameters one can fit the data• Momentum is conserved in all elementary
processes in MC codes. Why PYTHIA cannot explain experimental data?
• The conservation effect is stronger for events with low multiplicity. Contrary to experimental discovery
T’ T’
ΔT=T’-T depends on multiplicity, because the initial fluctuations at some point need to bemediated into phase space well separated.
Heating simultaneously two points at large Δηresults in long range correlations
Lessons from STARPRD74, 032006 (06)
• Hard component increases with multiplicity• ΔT larger for higher multiplicity
If dense medium is produced in pp collisions at CMS
• anisotropy in the spectrum->v2
• harder spectrum in ridge• high p/πratio, about 0.5 at 3-5 GeV/c
Summary
• Experimental data on ridge are revisited• Model explanations are introduced briefly• Long range correlations in pp collisions at CMS
may be induced by ridge• Possible phenomena are predicted• More work needed!!
