Signatures of Flux Tube Fragmentation and Strangeness Correlations in pp Collisions

In the fragmentation of a color flux tube in high-energy pp collisions or e+-e− annihilations, the production of q-q¯ pairs along a color flux tube precedes the fragmentation of the tube. The local conservation laws in the production of these q-q¯ pairs will lead to the correlations of adjacently pr...

Description
Summary:In the fragmentation of a color flux tube in high-energy pp collisions or e+-e− annihilations, the production of q-q¯ pairs along a color flux tube precedes the fragmentation of the tube. The local conservation laws in the production of these q-q¯ pairs will lead to the correlations of adjacently produced hadrons. As a consequence, the fragmentation of a flux tube will yield a many-hadron correlation in the form of a chain of hadrons ordered in rapidity, with adjacent hadrons correlated in charges, flavor contents, and azimuthal angles. It will also lead to a two-hadron angular correlation between two hadrons with opposite charges or strangeness that is suppressed at Δφ ~ 0 but enhanced at Δφ ~ π, within a rapidity window Δy~1/(dN/dy).
