Description
The observed thermalization in particle production at colliders,
usually inferred from the presence of the exponential component in
the transverse momentum distributions of produced particles and the
thermal abundances of the hadron yields, is proposed as due to quantum
entanglement inside the proton wave functions in the proton-proton
collisions. This presentation will show our analysis results of the
transverse momentum distributions, and conclusions in the following
proton-proton collision processes, all at 13 TeV collision energy:
(i) inclusive inelastic pp collisions; (ii) single- and double-diffractive
Drell-Yan production pp → μ+μ−X; and (iii) Higgs boson production.
Given our results, the wealth of new LHC data, and ongoing efforts,
this is shown to be an exciting research area at the interface of
QIS and HEP.
