Abstract

The ALICE collaboration recently reported high-statistics p_tpt spectra from 5 TeV and 13 TeV p-p collisions with intent to determine the role of jets in high-multiplicity collisions. In the present study a two-component (soft + hard) model (TCM) of hadron production in p-p collisions is applied to ALICE p_tpt spectra. As in previous TCM studies of A-B collision systems jet and nonjet contributions to p_tpt spectra are accurately separated over the entire p_tpt acceptance. The statistical significance of data-model differences is established leading to insights concerning selection bias and spectrum model validity.
