在LHC上用ATLAS探测器测量$pp$和$p$ +Pb碰撞中多粒子方位角关联

Measurement of multi-particle azimuthal correlations with the subevent cumulant method in $pp$ and $p$+Pb collisions with the ATLAS detector at the LHC

ATLAS Collaboration

摘要:

利用ATLAS探测器在LHC上记录的$\sqrt{s}=5.02$和13 TeV的$pp$数据以及$\sqrt{s_{\rm{NN}}}=5.02$ TeV的$p$ +Pb数据,详细研究了多粒子方位角关联。利用四粒子累积量$c_{n}\{4\}$和流量系数$v_n\{4\}=(-c_{n}\{4\})^{1/4}$探测$n=2$和3的方位相关,目的是提取长程多粒子方位相关信号,抑制短程相关。$c_{n}\{4\}$的值作为每个事件的带电粒子的平均数的函数,$\left\langle N_{\rm{ch}} \right\rangle$,使用最近提出的二子事件和三子事件累积量方法,并与标准累积量方法得到的结果进行比较。三个子事件的方法被认为是最不敏感的短程相关性,这主要源于喷流与积极的贡献$c_{n}\{4\}$。三子事件方法给出了一个负的$c_{2}\{4\}$,因此给出了一个定义良好的$v_2\{4\}$,几乎独立于$\left\langle N_{\rm{ch}} \right\rangle$,这提供了直接的证据,长程多粒子方位角相关持续到低多重性事件。此外,$v_2\{4\}$被发现是小于$v_2\{2\}$测量使用两个粒子的相关性方法,预期为远程集体行为。最后,$v_2\{4\}$和$v_2\{2\}$的测量值用于估计与碰撞几何中的初始偏心率相关的源的数目。

英文摘要:

A detailed study of multi-particle azimuthal correlations is presented using $pp$ data at $\sqrt{s}=5.02$ and 13 TeV, and $p$+Pb data at $\sqrt{s_{\rm{NN}}}=5.02$ TeV, recorded with the ATLAS detector at the LHC. The azimuthal correlations are probed using four-particle cumulants $c_{n}\{4\}$ and flow coefficients $v_n\{4\}=(-c_{n}\{4\})^{1/4}$ for $n=2$ and 3, with the goal of extracting long-range multi-particle azimuthal correlation signals and suppressing the short-range correlations. The values of $c_{n}\{4\}$ are obtained as a function of the average number of charged particles per event, $\left\langle N_{\rm{ch}} \right\rangle$, using the recently proposed two-subevent and three-subevent cumulant methods, and compared with results obtained with the standard cumulant method. The three-subevent method is found to be least sensitive to short-range correlations, which originate mostly from jets with a positive contribution to $c_{n}\{4\}$. The three-subevent method gives a negative $c_{2}\{4\}$, and therefore a well-defined $v_2\{4\}$, nearly independent of $\left\langle N_{\rm{ch}} \right\rangle$, which provides direct evidence that the long-range multi-particle azimuthal correlations persist to events with low multiplicity. Furthermore, $v_2\{4\}$ is found to be smaller than the $v_2\{2\}$ measured using the two-particle correlation method, as expected for long-range collective behavior. Finally, the measured values of $v_2\{4\}$ and $v_2\{2\}$ are used to estimate the number of sources relevant for the initial eccentricity in the collision geometry.
