$p_t$- dependence of the flow coefficients for pp collisions in the color string scenario. Monte-Carlo simulations

TL;DR

This paper uses Monte-Carlo simulations within the color string model to study how flow coefficients depend on transverse momentum in proton-proton collisions at LHC energies, aligning well with CMS experimental data.

Contribution

It introduces a detailed Monte-Carlo simulation approach to analyze $v_n$ dependence on $p_t$ in the color string framework for pp collisions.

Findings

Flow coefficients $v_n$ depend on $p_t$ in the studied range.

Simulation results agree with CMS data.

Fused string clusters influence flow behavior.

Abstract

In the color string picture with fusion and percolation the dependence of the flow coefficients $v_n$ on the transverse momentum is studied for pp collisions the LHC energy respectively. Monte-Carlo simulations are used to locate simple strings and their fused clusters. The results favorably agree with the CMS data in the region $0.2 \le p_t\le 3.$ GeV/c appropriate for the string scenario.
