Two-component model description of Bose-Einstein correlations in pp collisions at 13 TeV measured by the CMS Collaboration at the LHC

Abstract

Using the two-component model, we analyze Bose-Einstein correlations in pp collisions at the center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, measured by the CMS Collaboration at the LHC, and compare results with the $\tau$-model. We utilize data described by the double ratios with an average pair transverse momentum $0\le k_T\le 1.0$ GeV and six intervals described by the reconstructed charged particle multiplicity as $N_{\rm trk}^{\rm offline}$. The estimated ranges are 1-4 fm for the magnitude of extension of emitting source expressed by the exponential function $\exp(-RQ)$ and 0.4-0.5 fm for that by the Gaussian distribution $\exp(-(RQ)^2))$, respectively. Moreover, we estimate the upper limits of the 3-pion BEC to test the two-component model and investigate the role of the long-range correlation.
