Abstract
Event-by-event fluctuations of the mean transverse momentum of charged particles produced in Pb–Pb and Xe–Xe collisions at TeV and TeV, respectively, are studied as a function of the charged-particle multiplicity using the ALICE detector at the LHC. Dynamical fluctuations are observed in both collision systems which indicate correlated particle emission. The central Pb–Pb and Xe–Xe collisions show a significant reduction of the fluctuation in comparison to peripheral collisions and are in qualitative agreement with previous measurements in Pb–Pb collisions at TeV. The results are compared with the HIJING model. A clear deviation from simple superposition of independent nucleon-nucleon collisions scenario, where the final state particles are produced from superposition of particle emitting sources, is observed.
