Azimuthal collimation of long range rapidity correlations by strong
color fields in high multiplicity hadron-hadron collisions
   [PDF]

Kevin Dusling, Raju Venugopalan
The azimuthal collimation of di-hadrons with large rapidity separations in high multiplicity p+p collisions at the LHC is described in the Color Glass Condensate (CGC) effective theory [1] by N_c^2 suppressed multi-ladder QCD diagrams that are enhanced \alpha_S^(-8) due to gluon saturation in hadron wavefunctions. We show that quantitative computations in the CGC framework are in good agreement with data from the CMS experiment on per trigger di-hadron yields and predict further systematics of these yields with varying trigger pT and charged hadron multiplicity. Radial flow generated by re-scattering is strongly limited by the structure of the p+p di-hadron correlations. In contrast, radial flow explains the systematics of identical measurements in heavy ion collisions.
