1303.6326 (Antonio Ortiz et al.)

Color reconnection and flow-like patterns in pp collisions    [PDF]

Antonio Ortiz, Peter Christiansen, Eleazar Cuautle, Ivonne Maldonado, Guy Paic
Increasingly, with the data collected at the LHC we are confronted with the possible existence of flow in pp collisions. In this work we show that PYTHIA 8 produces flow-like effects in events with multiple hard subcollisions due to color string formations between final partons from independent hard scatterings, the so called color reconnection. We present studies of different identified hadron observables in pp collisions at 7 TeV with the tune 4C. Studies have been done both for minimum bias and multiplicity intervals in events with and without color reconnection to isolate the flow like effect.
