dc.description.abstract | We present the first measurement of the two-particle transverse momentum differential correlation
function, P2 ≡ hΔpTΔpTi=hpTi2, in Pb-Pb collisions at √sNN p ¼ 2.76 TeV. Results for P2 are reported as
a function of the relative pseudorapidity (Δη) and azimuthal angle (Δφ) between two particles for different
collision centralities. The Δϕ dependence is found to be largely independent of Δη for jΔηj ≥ 0.9. In the
5% most central Pb-Pb collisions, the two-particle transverse momentum correlation function exhibits a
clear double-hump structure around Δφ ¼ π (i.e., on the away side), which is not observed in number
correlations in the same centrality range, and thus provides an indication of the dominance of triangular
flow in this collision centrality. Fourier decompositions of P2, studied as a function of the collision
centrality, show that correlations at jΔηj ≥ 0.9 can be well reproduced by a flow ansatz based on the
notion that measured transverse momentum correlations are strictly determined by the collective motion of
the system. | |
