Motivation: 16.10.20155 Two stage scenario: A.Capella, U.P.Sukhatme, C.--I.Tan and J.Tran Thanh Van, Phys. Lett. B81 (1979) 68; Phys. Rep. 236 (1994) 225. A.B.Kaidalov, Phys. Lett., 116B (1982) 459; A.B.Kaidalov K.A.Ter-Martirosyan, Phys. Lett., 117B (1982) 247. At the first stage a certain number of colour strings are formed stretched in rapidity space between the incoming partons At the second stage these strings decay into the observed secondary hadrons.

Motivation for studies of Long-Range Correlations: “STRING FUSION” Investigations of the charged particles long-range multiplicity correlations, measured for well separated rapidity intervals, can give us information on the number of emitting centers and hence on the fusion of colour strings[1]. 16.10.20156 [1] M.A.Braun, C.Pajares and V.V.Vechernin "Forward-backward multiplicity correlations, low p_t distributions in the central region and the fusion of colour strings", Internal Note/FMD, ALICE-INT-2001-16, CERN, Geneva, 2001, 13p [2] Abramovskii V.A., Kancheli O.V. “On the multiplicity distribution of secondary hadrons” Letters to JETP 31 (1980) 532 Fig.1.

16.10.201511 HOW TO MEASURE THE LONG RANGE CORRELATIONS: Observables For each event: 1) the event mean multiplicity in BACKWARD or FORWARD rapidity windows: 2) the event mean transverse momentum for BACKWARD and FORWARD rapidity windows: Event-by-event: We define the average value of the observable in one rapidity window at the given value of another observable in the second window(regression):
12
16.10.201512 Usually: Correlation coefficients are defined – in the region where some linearity exists-- for the absolute values of observables as: Correlation coefficients (for the normalized observables): Here the strength of the multiplicity correlation is measured by the coefficient

Figures are for 2 values of rapidity gap: 0 (left column) and 3.34 (right column). Backward and forward rapidity intervals are of 0.2 units of rapidity. Some predictions for ALICE: Collectivity and “Saturation” effects in long-range multiplicity correlation Collectivity effects in PYTHIA In case of large collectivity parameter set, the “plateau” observed in multiplicity correlation is expected to start earlier and to have lower value: at the level of ~120 in vs. ~170 (see left column for 0 gap). Similar is the result for the gap=3.4 units(right column)

16.10.201528 “Saturation” effects in long-range -multiplicity correlation for strange particles Λ, -“plateau” vs. “collectivity in PYTHIA” (PARP(85) and PARP(86)): For “plateau” events: “High” collectivity: / = 1.8/60.3=0.03 (!) “Low” collectivity: / = 2.3/98=0,023
29
Features of “the plateau” (PYTHIA) events: increase of collectivity effects in PYTHIA (of Colour correlations and Gluon-gluon string formation) leads to: 1) Increased formation of the number of paticle emitting sources 2) Damping of the mean multipliicty of “plateau” events 3) Increased values for “plateau” events 3) 1.5 increase of yields Λ/ for “plateau” events The very central рр-collisions ! 29

Summary 16.10.201536 1)It is proposed to start study of the n, n and p_t Long-Range Correlations (LRC) in рр collisions in ALICE at the LHC. 2)This will provide a new information on the number of particle emitting sources, formed in the collisions and to select a class of unique events that might be characterized as “the very central collisions”, possessing the maximal energy density 3)“Saturation effects” in n or n correlations in pp collisions, - in case if they are confirmed experimentally, - are important for the future analysis of possible formation and hadronisation processes of the QGP.

Feasibility of the measurement of the long-range correlations in terms of statistics and systematic errors during the first pp run at 0.9/10 TeV in 2008 in ALICE 10/16/2015 40 1). Short 900 GeV min bias pp run is interesting for this analysis to start and to compare to the existing data on multiplicity correlation N-N long-range correlation : Statistics about 1 - 2 x 10^5 events should be sufficient for the comparison to the existing data at 900 GeV ( E735 Collaboration, “ Charged particle multiplicity correlations in ppbar collisions at 0.3-1.8 TeV”, Physics Letters B 353 (1995) 155-160 ),where about 150000 events data were accumulated 2). 10 TeV min bias run has to provide 2-3 x 10^5 of events for p_t-n correlation coefficient determination ( This corresponds to [-1..0], [0..1] rapidity windows). In a case of smaller windows of 0.2 units of rapidity the minimal required statistics will be 1 - 2 x 10^6. N-N long-range correlation saturation: study will require statistics of about 10^7 events.
