High Multiplicity pp and pA Collisions: Hydrodynamics at its Edge and Explosive Stringy Pomeron

• Edward Shuryak (stony brook university)

Room: 32-144 High Multiplicity pp and pA Collisions are a place where the macroscopic description (thermodynamics and hydrodynamics) meets with the microscopic one (pomerons and QCD strings). First I discuss what happens with the hydrodynamical predictions as the system size gets smaller and smaller. For simplicity, we don't do it numerically, but analytically using Gubser$^\prime$ s flow. We found that the radial flow is expected to increase, while the elliptic flow decreases, and higher harmonics stronger suppressed. Then we approach the problem from the opposite side, using a string-based Pomeron model. We found that as the intrinsic temperature of the string grows, it approaches the Hagedorn regime and produces a high entropy string ball, amusingly dual to a certain black hole. Furthermore, when the string temperature narrows on the Hagedorn temperature or $T/T_H-1={\cal O}(1/N_c)$, the stringy ball becomes a sQGP ball with non-negligible pressure and hydrodynamical flow.

Explore the high-density QCD medium via particle correlations in pPb collisions at CMS

• Wei Li (MIT)

Room: 32-144 The observation of a long-range, near-side two-particle correlation ("ridge") in very high multiplicity proton-proton and proton-lead collisions has opened up the opportunity of studying collective phenomena in these small systems. High luminosity pPb data were collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC in early 2013. New results of identified particle spectra, two- and multi-particle correlations in pPb collisions from CMS will be presented over a wide event multiplicity and transverse momentum range. A direct comparison of pp, pPb and PbPb systems will be provided. Physics implications, especially in the context of color glass condensate and hydrodynamics models will also be discussed.

Azimuthal anisotropies in lead-lead and proton-lead collisions with the ATLAS detector

• Barbara Krystyna Wosiek (Polish Academy of Sciences (PL))

Room: 32-144 The presentation will give an overview of measurements of azimuthal anisotropies performed by the ATLAS collaboration using Pb+Pb collisions at sqrt(s_NN)=2.76 TeV and p+Pb collisions at sqrt(s_NN)=5.02 TeV.

Hadron-Nucleus Interactions: What we have learned.

• Larry McLerran (BNL)

Room: 32-144 I will describe the early development of ideas and experiments on hadron-nucleus interactions that have led to modern theories of high energy hadronic interactions. These developments proved crucial for basic understanding of ultra-relativistic heavy ion collisions, but perhaps more importantly, radically changed our preconceptions, and led to modern QCD based descriptions of high energy interactions. I will also discuss how recent developments at RHIC and LHC can further test or falsify modern ideas.

Study of dijet momentum balance and pseudorapidity in pPb collisions

• Yen-Jie Lee (CERN)

Room: 32-144 Studies of dijet production in pPb collisions at a nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass energy of 5.02 TeV using the CMS detector are presented. Jets are reconstructed with the anti-kT algorithm with R=0.3, using combined information from tracking and calorimetry. The dijet momentum balance, azimuthal angle correlations and pseudorapidity distributions are studied and compared to results from PYTHIA reference calculations representing pp collisions.
