Abstract

Two-particle angular correlations are measured in high-multiplicity proton-proton collisions at = 13 TeV by the ALICE Collaboration. The yields of particle pairs at short-(eta similar to 0) and long-range (1.6 < || < 1.8) in pseudorapidity are extracted on the near-side ( 0). They are reported as a function of transverse momentum (p(T)) in the range 1 < p(T)< 4 GeV/c. Furthermore, the event-scale dependence is studied for the first time by requiring the presence of high-p(T) leading particles or jets for varying p(T) thresholds. The results demonstrate that the long-range "ridge" yield, possibly related to the collective behavior of the system, is present in events with high-p(T) processes as well. The magnitudes of the short- and long-range yields are found to grow with the event scale. The results are compared to EPOS LHC and PYTHIA 8 calculations, with and without string-shoving interactions. It is found that while both models describe the qualitative trends in the data, calculations from EPOS LHC show a better quantitative agreement for the p(T) dependency, while overestimating the event-scale dependency.
