Bose-Einstein correlations of charged hadrons in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s} = $ 13 TeV
JHEP 03 (2020) 014
Abstract: Bose-Einstein correlations of charged hadrons are measured over a broad multiplicity range, from a few particles up to about 250 reconstructed charged hadrons in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s} = $ 13 TeV. The results are based on data collected using the CMS detector at the LHC during runs with a special low-pileup configuration. Three analysis techniques with different degrees of dependence on simulations are used to remove the non-Bose-Einstein background from the correlation functions. All three methods give consistent results. The measured lengths of homogeneity are studied as functions of particle multiplicity as well as average pair transverse momentum and mass. The results are compared with data from both CMS and ATLAS at $\sqrt{s} = $ 7 TeV, as well as with theoretical predictions.

Summary
A Bose-Einstein correlation measurement is reported using data collected with the CMS detector at the LHC in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s} = $ 13 TeV, covering a broad range of charged particle multiplicity, from a few particles up to 250 reconstructed charged hadrons. Three analysis methods, each with a different dependence on Monte Carlo simulations, are used to generate correlation functions, which are found to give consistent results. One dimensional studies of the radius fit parameter, $R_{\text{inv}}$, and the intercept parameter, $\lambda$, have been carried out for both inclusive events and high multiplicity events selected using a dedicated online trigger. For multiplicities in the range 0 $ < N_{\text{trk}}^{\text{offline}} < $ 250 and average pair transverse momentum 0 $ < {k_{\mathrm{T}}} < $ 1 GeV, values of the radius fit parameter and intercept are in the ranges 0.8 $ < R_{\text{inv}} < $ 3.0 fm and 0.5 $ < \lambda < $ 1.0, respectively.

Over most of the multiplicity range studied, the value of $R_{\text{inv}}$ increases with increasing event multiplicities and is proportional to $ < N_{\text{tracks}} > ^{1/3} $, a trend which is predicted by hydrodynamical calculations. For events with more than ${\sim}$ 100 charged particles, the observed dependence of $R_{\text{inv}}$ suggests a possible saturation, with the lengths of homogeneity also consistent with a constant value. Comparisons of the multiplicity dependence are made with predictions of the color glass condensate effective theory, by means of a parameterization of the radius of the system formed in pp collisions. The values of the radius parameters in the model are much lower than those in the data, although the general shape of the dependence on multiplicity is similar in both cases. The radius fit parameter $R_{\text{inv}}$ is also observed to decrease with increasing ${k_{\mathrm{T}}}$, a behavior that is consistent with emission from a system that is expanding prior to its decoupling.

Inspired by hydrodynamic models, the dependence of $R_{\text{inv}}^{-2}$ on the average pair transverse mass was investigated and the two are observed to be proportional, a behavior similar to that seen in nucleus-nucleus collisions. The proportionality constant between $R_{\text{inv}}^{-2}$ and transverse mass can be related to the flow parameter of a Hubble-type expansion of the system. For pp collisions at 13 TeV, this expansion is slower for larger event multiplicity, a dependence that was also found in nucleus-nucleus collisions. Therefore, the present analysis reveals additional similarities between the systems produced in high multiplicity pp collisions and those found using data for larger initial systems. These results may provide additional constraints on future attempts using hydrodynamical models and/or the color glass condensate framework to explain the entire range of similarities between pp and heavy ion interactions.
