Selected CMS Results from pp collisions
27th Winter Workshop on Nuclear DynamicsWinter Park, Colorado
Feb 6-13, 2011
J. Velkovska 2
Motivation
To get insights into multi-particle production in high energy pp collisions soft vs hard production Description of multi-parton interactions Non-linear effects at high gluon densities Collective effects at high energy densities String fragmentation and color
neutralization
WWND 2/9/2011
J. Velkovska 3WWND 2/9/2011
Results: pp collisions at √s = 0.9, 2.36 and 7 TeV
Charged Hadrons spectra, <pT>, dN/dη, Event-by-event multiplicity
Correlations Azimuthal and Long-range rapidity correlations Bose-Einstein Correlations
Sensitive to the detailed implementation of string fragmentation, multi-parton interactions, interplay between hard-scatterings and the underlying event, collective dynamics
Strangeness production spectra, <pT>, dN/dη
Jet shapes Sensitive to parton radiation and fragmentation scheme Proposed as a model-discriminating observable in jet-quenching

The CMS Si Tracker
WWND 2/9/2011
Acceptance: |η|<2.4 and full azimuthal coverage66M Pixels:● 150x100 μm2, closest to the interaction point● 3 barrel layers (4, 7 and 10 cm radii) and 2 endcaps on each side9.6 M Strips:● 10 layers: Larger silicon modules, refine momentum resolution

Charge hadron reconstruction
Pixel hit counting (1 hit) Using the primary vertex,
calculate η for each cluster Immune to detector mis-
alignment, simplest pT > 30 MeV/c, | η | < 2
Used for dN/dη
WWND 2/9/2011
Tracklets (2 hits)
Form hit pairs, calculate
{ Data-driven background subtraction
{ pT > 50 MeV/c, jj < 2
Tracklets (2 hits) Form hit pair - calculate η Data-driven bg subtraction pT > 50 MeV/c, | η | < 2
Used for dN/dη
Full tracks Use all pixel and strip hits,
provide η and pT
Robust and least sensitive to bg
pT > 100 MeV/c, | η | < 2.4
Used for dN/dη and spectra

Charged hadron spectra and dN/dη
Spectra are well described by Tsallis fit Rapidity density nearly flat in the measured range: good
agreement between experimentsWWND 2/9/2011

Comparison to models
Most PYTHIA tunes underestimate dN/dη PHOJET ( based on dual-parton model – multiple soft
strings) underpredicts dN/dη, but does well on <pT> Saturation models do relatively well
WWND 2/9/2011
J. Velkovska 8
<pT> and dN/dη vs √s compared to models
Most models fail to describe both quantities simultaneously. Why do these quantities rise and why faster than ln(√s) ? What is the role of hard processes and that of soft multi-
parton interactions ?WWND 2/9/2011
J. Velkovska 9
Event-by-event multiplicity
PYTHIA 8 describes the total multiplicity well, but produces too many charged hadrons with high transverse momentum
WWND 2/9/2011
ArXiv: 1011.5531 JHEP, submitted
pT >0 pT >500 MeV/c
J. Velkovska 10
Correlate <pT> and event-by-event multiplicity
the rise of the average transverse momentum with the multiplicity is roughly energy-independent

Di-hadron Correlations
More detailed information about the dynamics Short range rapidity correlations ~ |∆η | < 2 are
sensitive to string fragmentation models Bose-Einstein Correlations ( very short range in η
and φ ) – reflect the space-time distribution of the source
Long range rapidity “Away-side” (Δφ ~ π) typically come from back-to-back jets
A new long range correlation was observed on the near side (Δφ ~ 0) in high multiplicity pp events at √s = 7 TeV

Here is how the data look like:

Min bias PT> 0.1 GeV/c
Min bias 1 < PT< 3 GeV/c

“Ridge” structure

Source parameters from BEC
WWND 2/9/2011
Source radii depend on multiplicity, but not much on colliding energy
Phys. Rev. Lett. 105 (2010) 032001: √s =0.9 and 2.36 TeV arXiv:1101.3518 : √s =0.9 and 7 TeV STAR: ArXiv 1004.0925

Source radii vs pair transverse momentum kT
At high Nch the Source radius depends on kT
Radial expansion ?

Strange Hadron Rapidity Density
Yield significantly larger than MC predictions Discrepancy increases with energy and hadron mass

Jet shapes Jets are characterized by :
charged particle multiplicity in a jet,Nch
Charge particle transverse jet shape Integrated jet shape – the fraction of
energy contained in a disk of radius r<R

Jet Shapes in Pythia and data
Nch and transverse shape sensitive to quark/gluon fraction In PbPb events we expect different quenching of quark and
gluon jets Sensitivity to underlying jet-quenching mechanism

Insights into soft and hard particle production mechanisms and the role of multi-parton interactions
Possible observation of collective effects in high-multiplicity pp collisions – needs further experimental and theoretical studies
Important baseline measurements for HI observables have been carried out
Stay tuned for upcoming HI results

Identified Strange Hadrons
WWND 2/9/2011
Reconstruct Λ ● pair it with a negatively charged track● Secondary vertex within 5σ from primary● Require Ξ- to point to primary● Ξ- decay vertex well separated from primary
Fit pair of oppositely charged tracks to common vertex● Daughter tracks: Of good quality and Not from primary vertex● Secondary vertex– Far “enough” from the primary vertex● Require V0 point back to primary vertex
