5 Experimentally Observed pt-Nch Correlations. Features
<pt>Nch does not grow with energy at low Nch. <pt>Nch flattens at high Nch. Experiments can be divided into two groups depending on the value of <pt> at Nch close to 0. 05 Sep 2006 D. Derkach, ISSP'06, Erice

7 Classical Multi-Pomeron Exchange Model
Pomeron is a virtual particle that is exchanged during the inelastic scatering process with vacuum quantum numbers flow. It can be considered as a pair of strings. The number of pomerons exchanged rises with energy. Collective effects are not included in the model. A. B. Kaidalov and K. A. Ter-Martirosyan, Phys. Lett. B 117 (1982) 247 05 Sep 2006 D. Derkach, ISSP'06, Erice

9 Dual Parton Model calculations
In this model an additional assumption was made: a transverse momentum of sea quarks was introduced as a parameter. This parameter was fitted to be 1.1 GeV. P. Aurenche, F. W. Bopp and J. Ranft, Phys. Lett. 147B, (1984) 212 05 Sep 2006 D. Derkach, ISSP'06, Erice

10 String Formation Collective effects are observed.

11 Classical Multi-Pomeron Exchange Model

12 Classical Multi-Pomeron Exchange Model
No correlations can be obtained from this distribution! 05 Sep 2006 D. Derkach, ISSP'06, Erice

13 Modifications. Basic formula
= = - parameter that accounts effectively collectivity 05 Sep 2006 D. Derkach, ISSP'06, Erice

14 Parameters Classical model parameters: t – average string tension
k – mean number of particles produced per unit rapidity by one string Modificated model parameter: - efficient string collective coefficient 05 Sep 2006 D. Derkach, ISSP'06, Erice

15 Fitting Fitting was done for 11 different datasets.
Energy range covered is GeV. The parameter values were extracted. 05 Sep 2006 D. Derkach, ISSP'06, Erice

22 LHC predictions from EPEM
The predictions are made for both parameter t values. The plot should be chosen after specification of experimental data. 05 Sep 2006 D. Derkach, ISSP'06, Erice

23 Conclusions Experirmental results on mean pt and on pt-n correlation are summarized in a wide energy range. Negative and positive correlations are reproduced in one approach of modified multi-Pomeron exchange model. Smooth behavior of parameter “ ” with energy is observed. Logarithmic growth of number of Pomerons and their dispersions with energy in the region 17 GeV – 1.8 TeV are related to observed experimental correlations. First results on pp collisions in ALICE at the LHC at 5.5 TeV on the pt-Nch corelation at midrapidity should clarify the functional dependence of “ ”. 05 Sep 2006 D. Derkach, ISSP'06, Erice
