Measurement of long-range pseudorapidity correlations and azimuthal harmonics in sNN=5.02 TeV proton-lead collisions with the ATLAS detector

et al.
Abstract

Measurements of two-particle correlation functions and the first five azimuthal harmonics, v1 to v5, are presented, using 28 nb−1 of p+Pb collisions at a nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass energy of sNN=5.02 TeV measured with the ATLAS detector at the LHC. Significant long-range “ridgelike” correlations are observed for pairs with small relative azimuthal angle (|Δϕ|<π/3) and back-to-back pairs (|Δϕ|>2π/3) over the transverse momentum range 0.44 GeV. The v2(pT), v3(pT), and v4(pT) are compared to the vn coefficients in Pb+Pb collisions at sNN=2.76 TeV with similar event multiplicities. Reasonable agreement is observed after accounting for the difference in the average pT of particles produced in the two collision systems.
