Azimuthal correlations of D mesons with charged particles in simulations with the ALICE experiment
Eszter Frajna, Robert Vertesi (for the ALICE experiment)
TL;DR
This paper uses Monte Carlo simulations to analyze azimuthal correlations of D mesons with charged particles, helping interpret recent ALICE experimental results in proton-proton and proton-lead collisions.
Contribution
It provides a detailed component-level analysis of heavy quark production and hadronization, comparing charm and beauty contributions to identify sensitive observables.
Findings
Parton-level contributions and fragmentation properties are characterized.
Charm and beauty contributions are contrasted to identify key observables.
Results aid in interpreting ALICE azimuthal correlation measurements.
Abstract
In this manuscript, results of a component-level analysis with Monte Carlo simulations are presented, that aid the interpretation of recent ALICE results on the azimuthal correlation distribution of prompt D mesons with charged hadrons in pp and p--Pb collisions at = 5.02 TeV. Parton-level contributions and fragmentation properties are evaluated. Charm and beauty contributions are compared in order to identify the observables that serve as sensitive probes of the production and hadronization of heavy quarks.
