Pseudorapidity distributions of charged particles as a function of mid- and forward rapidity multiplicities in pp collisions at $$\sqrt{s}$$ = 5.02, 7 and 13 TeV
Abstract The multiplicity dependence of the pseudorapidity density of charged particles in proton–proton (pp) collisions at centre-of-mass energies $$\sqrt{s}~=~5.02$$ s = 5.02 , 7 and 13 TeV measured by ALICE is reported. The analysis relies on track segments measured in the midrapidity range ( $$|\eta | < 1.5$$ | η | < 1.5 ). Results are presented for inelastic events having at least one charged particle produced in the pseudorapidity interval $$|\eta |<1$$ | η | < 1 . The multiplicity dependence of the pseudorapidity density of charged particles is measured with mid- and forward rapidity multiplicity estimators, the latter being less affected by autocorrelations. A detailed comparison with predictions from the PYTHIA 8 and EPOS LHC event generators is also presented. The results can be used to constrain models for particle production as a function of multiplicity in pp collisions.

1. Abstract The multiplicity dependence of jet production in pp collisions at the centre-of-mass energy of $$\sqrt{s} = 13\ {\mathrm {TeV}}$$ s = 13 TeV is studied for the first time. Jets are reconstructed from charged particles using the anti- $$k_\mathrm {T}$$ k T algorithm with resolution parameters R varying from 0.2 to 0.7. The jets are measured in the pseudorapidity range $$|\eta _{\mathrm{jet}}|< 0.9-R$$ | η jet | < 0.9 - R and in the transverse momentum range $$5more » 2. Abstract Angular correlations of heavy-flavour and charged particles in high-energy proton–proton collisions are sensitive to the production mechanisms of heavy quarks and to their fragmentation as well as hadronisation processes. The measurement of the azimuthal-correlation function of prompt D mesons with charged particles in proton–proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of$$\sqrt{s} = 13$$s = 13 TeV with the ALICE detector is reported, considering$$\mathrm D^{0} $$D 0 ,$$\mathrm D^{+} $$D + , and$$\mathrm D^{*+} $$D ∗ + mesons in the transverse-momentum interval$$3< p_{\mathrm{T}} < 36$$3 < p T < 36 GeV/more » 3. A bstract Systematic studies of charge-dependent two- and three-particle correlations in Pb-Pb collisions at$$ \sqrt{s_{\mathrm{NN}}} $$s NN = 2.76 and 5.02 TeV used to probe the Chiral Magnetic Effect (CME) are presented. These measurements are performed for charged particles in the pseudorapidity ( η ) and transverse momentum ( p T ) ranges | η | < 0 . 8 and 0 . 2 < p T < 5 GeV/ c . A significant charge-dependent signal that becomes more pronounced for peripheral collisions is reported for the CME-sensitive correlators γ 1, 1 = 〈cos( φ α + φ βmore » 4. Abstract Measurements of event-by-event fluctuations of charged-particle multiplicities in Pb–Pb collisions at$$\sqrt{s_{\mathrm {NN}}}$$s NN$$=$$= 2.76 TeV using the ALICE detector at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) are presented in the pseudorapidity range$$|\eta |<0.8$$| η | < 0.8 and transverse momentum$$0.2< p_{\mathrm{T}} < 2.0$$0.2 < p T < 2.0 GeV/ c . The amplitude of the fluctuations is expressed in terms of the variance normalized by the mean of the multiplicity distribution.
