Abstract

Measurements of two- and multi-particle angular correlations in pp collisions at √s = 5,7, and 13 TeV are presented as a function of charged-particle multiplicity. The data, corresponding to integrated luminosities of 1.0pb^(-1) (5 TeV), 6.2pg^(-1)(7 TeV), and 0.7pb^(-1)(13 TeV), were collected using the CMS detector at the LHC. The second-order (v_2) and third-order (v_3) azimuthal anisotropy harmonics of unidentified charged particles, as well as v_2 of K^0_S and Λ/Λ particles, are extracted from long-range two-particle correlations as functions of particle multiplicity and transverse momentum. For high-multiplicity pp events, a mass ordering is observed for the v_2 values of charged hadrons (mostly pions), K^0_S, and Λ/Λ, with lighter particle species exhibiting a stronger azimuthal anisotropy signal below P_T ≈ 2GeV/c. For 13 TeV data, the v_2 signals are also extracted from four- and six-particle correlations for the first time in pp collisions, with comparable magnitude to those from two-particle correlations. These observations are similar to those seen in pPb and PbPb collisions, and support the interpretation of a collective origin for the observed long-range correlations in high-multiplicity pp collisions.
