Eccentricity and elliptic flow in proton-proton collisions from parton evolution

摘要:

有人认为,在大型强子对撞机上的高多重质子-质子碰撞可能会表现出通常在重离子碰撞中研究的集体现象,如椭圆流。我们使用基于QCD偶极模型的蒙特卡罗事件发生器DIPSY来研究这个问题。我们计算了由产生胶子的空间分布所定义的横截面的偏心率。由此产生的椭圆流估计约为6%,与RHIC和LHC的核-核碰撞值相当。在实验上,椭圆流是从强子之间的方位角相关性推断出来的,它接受集体流的贡献,以及其他各种被称为“非流”的效应。我们讨论了如何在实验中识别的信号中存在的大的非流动效应的流动。

英文摘要:

It has been argued that high-multiplicity proton-proton collisions at the LHC may exhibit collective phenomena usually studied in the context of heavy-ion collisions, such as elliptic flow. We study this issue using DIPSY - a Monte Carlo event generator based on the QCD dipole model. We calculate the eccentricity of the transverse area defined by the spatial distribution of produced gluons. The resulting elliptic flow is estimated to be about 6%, comparable to the value in nucleus-nucleus collisions at RHIC and the LHC. Experimentally, elliptic flow is inferred from the azimuthal correlation between hadrons, which receives contributions from collective flow, and from various other effects referred to as "nonflow". We discuss how to identify in experiments the signal of flow in the presence of large nonflow effects.
