  2. Outline • Introduction, main goals, current priorities • Experimental data overview • PYTHIA v6.325 studies • Summary 2008 Jan 06 A. Asryan, Spåtind, The 20th Nordic Particle Physics Meeting 2

  3. Introduction • There are collectivity effects in AA collisions • Nucleon-nucleon collisions are basic processes for AA collisions studies • In such elementary collisions some collectivity effects could be also observed and analyzed • Analysis of these collectivity effects gives us detailed information about physical processes in collisions • Long range correlations were proposed as analysis tool for ALICE at the LHC P.A.Bolokhov, M.A.Braun, G.A.Feofilov, V.P.Kondratiev, V.V.Vechernin, “Long-Range Forward-Backward p_t and Multiplicity Correlations Studies in ALICE”, ALICE-INT-2002 A.Asryan, D.Derkach, M.Braun, G.Feofilov, A.Ivanov, R.Kolevatov,V.Kondratiev, P.Naumenko, V.Vechernin, “Long-rangec Studies In ALICE”, ALICE Physics Performance Report, Vol.2, Chap. 6.8.1, https://edms.cern.ch/document/682648/1 2008 Jan 06 A.

  5. <pt> = f(<Nch>) Correlations <pt> - <Nch> Mean transverse momenum vs multiplicity correlations gives us information about collectiviy effects in pp collisions A.Asryan, D.Derkach, G.Feofilov, “Analysis of p_t-n_ch Correlation in pp and p-antip Collisions”, XVIIIBaldin ISHEPP, Dubna, Russia, 27 September 2006 2008 Jan 06 A.

  6. Main features of the data • Rise of the mean pt value with the multiplicity • An indication on flattening at the highest multiplicity • Effect grows with the collision energy • Positive ptn correlations at energies higher than 31 GeV, negative PtN correlations at lower energies • Two families of correlation functions with different pt values at Nch = 0 N.Armesto, D.Derkach, G.Feofilov, “Analysis of PtN correlation in p-p and p-antip elementary collisions from ISR to FermiLab energies and projection towards ALICE at the LHC”, ALICE-INT-NOT-2006-031 2008 Jan 06 A.

  14. Predictions for LHC p-antip collisions at 5.5 TeV for ALICE LHC Difference between these models is that in PYTHIA we keep collectivity effects the same for all energies.

  16. Summary • Collectivity effects in PYTHIA (model of multiple interactions) are found to be important • PYTHIA v6.325 could be tuned for experimental PtN correlations description in 200-900 GeV energy range with the same set of parameters • Predictions were made for ALICE LHC energies • Most of the features of PtN correlation analysis were rewritten in C++ in the ROOT+PYTHIA framework with *.root-format files and GUI 2008 Jan 06 A. Asryan, Spåtind, The 20th Nordic Particle Physics Meeting 16

  17. Future plans • PYTHIA v6.325 (probably slightly modified) is planned to be integrated into the PSM (parton string model event generator) for the following heavy ion collision simulations and analysis • Further development of standard classes and routines has to be made within AliROOT framework with ALICE detector geometry included • Using PYTHIA 8.1 with AliROOT framework should be the next task 2008 Jan 06 A.

  20. Parton String Model Generator • PSM is an implementation of parton string fusion model • PSM is able to simulate both pp and ion-ion collision events with different impact parameters • PSM have a String Fusion module, which allows to study this phenomena • PSM is based on PYTHIA v5.5 and JETSET v7.3 N.S.

  21. PSM Results <pt> vs E • PSM was tuned to describe simple observable such as mean transverse momentum and mean multiplicity for p-p and heavy ion collisions at wide energy range • We found that PSM is unable to simulate more complicated cases such as correlations between these observables • The reason seems to be PYTHIA <pt> vs nch A.
