Abstract

A deailed knowledge of pp collision is required both as input to comprehensive theoretical models of strong interactions and as baseline to decipher the AA collisions at relativistic and ultrarelativistic energies, which has been of great interest in the area of theoretical and experimental physics. The multiplicity distribution of particles produced in pp collisions and the multiplicity dependence of various global event features serve as rudimentary observables which reflect the features of the inherent dynamics of the process of particle production. Recent availability of dimuon data has triggered spur of interests in revisiting strong interaction process, the study of which in detail is extremely important for enhancement of our understanding on not only the theory of strong interaction but also possible physics scenarios beyond the standard model. Numerous papers have come up where background of production process of dimuon in pp collision has been discussed and analyzed particularly for production of dimuon from {\gamma}{\gamma} interaction. Apart from conventional approaches the present authors proposed a new approach with successful application in context of symmetry scaling in AA collision data from ALICE, pp collisions at 8TeV from CMS and so on. The different approach essentially analyses fluctuation pattern from the perspective of symmetry scaling or degree of self-similarity involved in the process. The proposed methods of analysis using pseudorapidity values of di-muon data taken from the primary dataset of RunA(2011)-7TeV and RunB(2012)-8TeV of the pp collision from CMS, reveal that pseudorapidity spaces corresponding to different ranges of rapidity are highly scale-free and the scaling pattern changes from one rapidity range to another at both energy. Also, the degree of cross-correlation between rapidity and azimuthal space has been found to follow the similar behavior.
