Description
Long range angular correlations have been found in $d+Au$ and $^{3}He+Au$ collisions at RHIC energies, and in $p+p$ and $p+A$ collisions at LHC energies. To have a better understanding of whether quark-gluon plasma could be formed and collective behavior could arise in small systems motivates this study to see if such correlations also exist
in $p+p$ collisions at RHIC energies. With the implementation of a high-multiplicity trigger using the forward silicon detector(FVTX), the PHENIX collaboration has taken several hundred million high multiplicity events for $p+p$ collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 200$ GeV. The correlation results will be shown as a function of transverse momentum and charged particle multiplicity.
This poster presents first results on two-particle angular correlations for charged particles emitted in $p+p$ collisions at center-of-mass energy of 200 GeV.
