Abstract: We report the charge-dependent two-particle differential correlation function in PbPb at √sNN = 5.02 TeV and pPb collisions at √sNN = 8.16 TeV. The correlation function is used to study the charge creation mechanism in high-energy heavy-ion collisions. The charge balance function is constructed using the like- and unlike-charge pairs to quantify the correlation of the emitted particles, such as the development of the collectivity and time the charges are created. The multiplicity dependence of balance function is observed both in relative pseudorapidity (Δη) and relative azimuthal angle (Δφ). The charge-dependent study of the correlation function shows the width of the balance function decreases towards the high multiplicity collisions in the low transverse momentum region (pT< 2 GeV/c) for both systems. Neither HYDJET nor HIJING can reproduce the multiplicity dependence, while AMPT is consistent with the experimental findings. No significant multiplicity dependency is observed at larger transverse momentum. | ||

Summary |
This note presents the measurement of the charge balance function for non-identified particles in PbPb and pPb collisions using the broad pseudorapidity coverage with the CMS detector. For both systems, the dependence of the balance function in relative pseudorapidity (Δη) and relative azimuthal angle (Δφ) was studied for different multiplicity classes and transverse momentum ranges. We observed the width in Δη and Δφ decreases in PbPb and pPb systems only in low pT (pT< 2 GeV/c). These results are consistent with the scenario of the system possessing a large radial flow, and the charges are created at a later stage of the collision. Multiplicity dependence is weaker for the higher value of transverse momentum, which signifies the balancing charge partners are strongly correlated compared to the low pT. Model comparisons such as HYDJET, AMPT and HIJING cannot reproduce the multiplicity dependence of the width in Δη. On the other hand, AMPT, which incorporates collective effects, can reproduce the narrowing of the width similar to the data results. This measurement can be extended by studying the correlation of identified particles using the wide rapidity coverage. That can be used as a probe to the chemical evolution of the produced system and a deeper investigation of radial flow that affects the balance function width. |
