Multiplicity and rapidity dependence of strange hadron production in pp, pPb, and PbPb collisions at the LHC
Phys. Lett. B 768 (2017) 103
Abstract: Measurements of strange hadron ($\mathrm{K_S}^0$, $\Lambda$+$\overline{\Lambda}$, and $\Xi^+$+$\Xi^-$) transverse momentum spectra in pp, pPb, and PbPb collisions are presented over a wide range of rapidity and event charged-particle multiplicity. The data were collected with the CMS detector at the CERN LHC in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s} = $ 7 TeV, pPb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\mathrm{NN}}} = $ 5.02 TeV, and PbPb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\mathrm{NN}}} = $ 2.76 TeV. The average transverse kinetic energy is found to increase with multiplicity, at a faster rate for heavier strange particle species in all systems. At similar multiplicities, the difference in average transverse kinetic energy between different particle species is observed to be larger for pp and pPb events than for PbPb events. In pPb collisions, the average transverse kinetic energy is found to be slightly larger in the Pb-going direction than in the p-going direction for events with large multiplicity. The spectra are compared to models motivated by hydrodynamics.

Summary
Measurements of strange hadron ($\mathrm{K_S}^0$, $\Lambda$+$\overline{\Lambda}$, and $\Xi^+$+$\Xi^-$) transverse momentum spectra in pp, pPb, and PbPb collisions are presented over a wide range of event charged-particle multiplicity and particle rapidity. The study is based on samples of pp collisions at $\sqrt{s} = $ 7 TeV, pPb collisions at $\sqrt{s} = $ 5.02 TeV, and PbPb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\mathrm{NN}}} = $ 2.76 TeV, collected with the CMS detector at the LHC. In the context of hydrodynamic models, the measured particle spectra are fitted to a blast wave function, which describes an expanding fluid-like system. When comparing at a similar multiplicity, the extracted radial-flow velocity parameters are found to be larger in pp and pPb collisions than that in PbPb collisions. The average transverse kinetic energy ${<\mathrm{KE}^\mathrm{T}}> $ of strange hadrons is observed to increase with multiplicity, with a stronger increase for heavier particles. At similar multiplicities, the difference in ${<\mathrm{KE}^\mathrm{T}}> $ between the strange-particle species is larger in the smaller pp and pPb systems than in the PbPb system. For pPb collisions, ${<\mathrm{KE}^\mathrm{T}}> $ in the Pb-going direction for $\mathrm{K_S}^0$ ($\Lambda$+$\overline{\Lambda}$) is 6% (12%) larger than in the p-going direction for events with the highest particle multiplicities.

The difference in $ {< \mathrm {KE}^\mathrm {T}}> $, between $\Lambda $ and $\mathrm{ K_S}^{0} $ has been presented as a function of multiplicity in pp, pPb, and PbPb collisions. The statistical uncertainty is invisible in the current scale, while the systematic uncertainty is represented by the box.
