Abstract

Recent measurements in two-particle correlations in p+Pb collisions suggest collective behavior reminiscent of that observed in Pb+Pb. Femtoscopic measurements may provide useful insight on this behavior because they image the spatio-temporal size of the particle emitting region. This proceeding presents identical-pion Hanbury Brown and Twiss (HBT) measurements from ATLAS using one- and three-dimensional correlation functions. Pions are identified using dE/dx measured in the pixel detector. Correlation functions and the resulting HBT radii are shown as a function of pair momentum (kT) and collision centrality.

Highlights

  • Long range two-particle correlation functions in relative pseudorapidity and relative azimuthal angle in pp and p+Pb collisions measured at the LHC are consistent with a possible collective behaviour [1, 2, 3], reminiscent to that observed in Pb+Pb collisions, see e.g. [4]

  • Femtoscopic measurements in pp and p+Pb collisions [5, 6] allow the investigation of the time evolution of small colliding systems. dependence of same- and

  • The coordinates are defined in the Bertsch-Pratt convention [10, 11], where qout shows in the direction of the pair momentum, qlong shows in the direction of the beam and qside is perpendicular to the qout and qlong
