AbstractIn this work, the relative Underlying event (UE) transverse multiplicity activity classifier ($$R_\mathrm{{T}}$$ R T ) is used to study the strange and multi-strange hadron production in proton-proton collisions. Our study with $$R_\mathrm{{T}}$$ R T would allow to disentangle these particles, which are originating from the soft and hard QCD processes. We have used the PYTHIA 8 Monte-Carlo (MC) with a different implementation of color reconnection and rope hadronization models to demonstrate the proton-proton collisions data at $$\sqrt{s}~$$ s = 13 TeV. The relative production of strange and multi-strange hadrons are discussed extensively in low and high transverse activity regions. In this contribution, the relative strange hadron production is enhanced with increasing $$R_\mathrm{{T}}$$ R T . This enhancement is significant for the strange baryons as compared to mesons. In addition, the particle ratios as a function of $$R_\mathrm{{T}}~$$ R T confirm the baryon enhancement in new Color Reconnection (newCR), whereas the Rope model confirms the baryon enhancement only with strange quark content. Experimental confirmation of such results will provide more insight into the soft physics in the transverse region, which will be useful to investigate various tunes based on hadronization and color reconnection schemes.

Forward-backward multiplicity correlations have been used to study hadron production mechanisms in electron-positron, proton-proton and more recently in leadlead collisions. The experimental results on this correlations and its comparison to different models reveals an incomplete agreement. In this work, we present an study of forward backward multiplicity correlations in proton-proton collisions using PYTHIA event generator, at LHC energies. Detailed analysis is presented in the case of soft and hard QCD processes, incorporating color reconnection model as part of hadronization mechanism and multiple parton interactions effects in the correlations. Our results and its comparison to available experimental data suggest that this kind of correlations are great tools to characterize the events and gives the possibility to disentangle phenomena in hard and soft QCD processes.

The pseudorapidity [Formula: see text] dependence of charged-particles ratios in three transverse momentum [Formula: see text] regions, obtained by hadron production models, in proton–proton collisions at 7 TeV are compared with the measurements of LHCb detector. Compared to the experimental data, the [Formula: see text] ratios are independent of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] and are very well predicted by all models (DPMJETIII, EPOS1.99, EPOS-LHC, HIJING1.383, QGSJETII-04 and Sibyll2.3c). All models predict the [Formula: see text] ratio at low [Formula: see text] for [Formula: see text], but underestimate afterward while reproducing the experimental data at medium and high [Formula: see text] very well. The [Formula: see text] ratio is described by the models very well at high [Formula: see text] in the low and medium [Formula: see text] region. At high [Formula: see text], models predict the experimental data well, except Sibyll2.3c that slightly overestimates. The [Formula: see text] ratio is predicted by EPOS1.99, HIJING and Sibyll at low [Formula: see text] and EPOS-LHC, EPOS1.99 and Sibyll predicted at high [Formula: see text] for low [Formula: see text]. For medium [Formula: see text], EPOS1.99 and Sibyll predict very well for [Formula: see text] while EPOS-LHC and HIJING models reproduce the data for [Formula: see text]. All models underpredict the [Formula: see text] ratio for [Formula: see text]. For the [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] ratios, only Sibyll and EPOS1.99 models could reproduce some regions of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. None of the models satisfactorily predict all the ratios. the same particle ratios are well described by most of the models while the discrepancies occur mostly in predicting the different particles ratios.

Abstract The production rates and the transverse momentum distribution of strange hadrons at mid-rapidity ($$\left| y\right| < 0.5$$y<0.5) are measured in proton-proton collisions at $$\sqrt{s}$$s = 13 TeV as a function of the charged particle multiplicity, using the ALICE detector at the LHC. The production rates of $$\mathrm{K}^{0}_{S}$$KS0, $$\Lambda $$Λ, $$\Xi $$Ξ, and $$\Omega $$Ω increase with the multiplicity faster than what is reported for inclusive charged particles. The increase is found to be more pronounced for hadrons with a larger strangeness content. Possible auto-correlations between the charged particles and the strange hadrons are evaluated by measuring the event-activity with charged particle multiplicity estimators covering different pseudorapidity regions. When comparing to lower energy results, the yields of strange hadrons are found to depend only on the mid-rapidity charged particle multiplicity. Several features of the data are reproduced qualitatively by general purpose QCD Monte Carlo models that take into account the effect of densely-packed QCD strings in high multiplicity collisions. However, none of the tested models reproduce the data quantitatively. This work corroborates and extends the ALICE findings on strangeness production in proton-proton collisions at 7 TeV.

The transverse momentum spectra of [Formula: see text] mesons, protons and antiprotons produced in proton–proton collisions at 200 GeV with hadron production models are reported. Two tunes of EPOS (EPOS1.99 and EPOS-LHC), three tunes of QGSJET (QGSJETI, QGSJETII-03, QGSJETII-04), DPMJET and HIJING models are used to obtain the spectra. The results are compared with the measurements of STAR collaboration obtained at mid-rapidity of [Formula: see text] in [Formula: see text] range of [Formula: see text]. All models reproduce the ratios [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] at low [Formula: see text] but could not predict well at high [Formula: see text]. In addition, EPOS tunes and QGSJET tunes predict well the spectra of [Formula: see text] meson and the ratios [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] at low [Formula: see text]. The HIJING and the QGSJET (tune I only) could reproduce all the spectra and all the ratios at a satisfactory level of precision and were found good among the models considered in the current study at RHIC energy.

Abstract The ratios of the production cross sections between the excited ϒ(2S) and ϒ(3S) mesons and the ϒ(1S) ground state, detected via their decay into two muons, are studied as a function of the number of charged particles in the event. The data are from proton-proton collisions at $$ \sqrt{s} $$ s = 7 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 4.8 fb−1, collected with the CMS detector at the LHC. Evidence of a decrease in these ratios as a function of the particle multiplicity is observed, more pronounced at low transverse momentum $$ {p}_{\mathrm{T}}^{\upmu \upmu} $$ p T μμ . For ϒ(nS) mesons with $$ {p}_{\mathrm{T}}^{\upmu \upmu} $$ p T μμ > 7 GeV, where most of the data were collected, the correlation with multiplicity is studied as a function of the underlying event transverse sphericity and the number of particles in a cone around the ϒ(nS) direction. The ratios are found to be multiplicity independent for jet-like events. The mean $$ {p}_{\mathrm{T}}^{\upmu \upmu} $$ p T μμ values for the ϒ(nS) states as a function of particle multiplicity are also measured and found to grow more steeply as their mass increases.
