Abstract

Two-particle correlations in relative azimuthal angle (Δϕ) and pseudorapidity (Δη) have been used to study heavy-ion collision dynamics, including medium-induced jet modification. Further investigations also showed the importance of Multiple Parton Interactions (MPI) in high-multiplicity pp collisions, which are often described by pQCD-inspired models. In these proceedings the latest ALICE measurements of two-particle correlations as a function of multiplicity in pp collisions are presented using the data from Run I and Run II at the LHC.

Highlights

  • Particle production in high-energy pp collisions at the LHC is expected to have a substantial contribution from Multiple Parton Interactions (MPI)

  • This can be studied via the two-particle correlation technique, where pair yields are used to probe the parton fragmentation process and the contribution of MPI to particle production

  • Measurements of the number of uncorrelated seeds suggest plicity which might be an indication of a limit in MPI

Summary

Introduction

Particle production in high-energy pp collisions at the LHC is expected to have a substantial contribution from Multiple Parton Interactions (MPI). This can be studied via the two-particle correlation technique, where pair yields are used to probe the parton fragmentation process and the contribution of MPI to particle production. ALICE, being dedicated to study heavy-ion collisions at the LHC, has an extensive pp physics program. In these proceedings the latest ALICE results from pp collisions on minijets, the near-side jet peak, and long-range correlations are presented
