At the first stage a certain number of colour strings are formed stretched in rapidity space between the incoming partons
At the second stage these strings decay into the observed secondary hadrons.
Motivation for studies of Long-Range Correlations:“STRING FUSION”
Investigations of the charged particles long-range multiplicity correlations, measured for well separated rapidity intervals, can give us information on the number of emitting
centers and hence on the fusion of colour strings[1].

Some predictions for ALICE: Collectivity and “Saturation”
effects in long-range multiplicity correlationCollectivity effects in PYTHIA In case of large collectivity parameter set, the “plateau” observed in multiplicity correlation is expected to start earlier and to have lower value: at the level of <nB>~120 in vs. <nB>~170 (see left column for 0 gap). Similar is the result for the gap=3.4 units(right column)

Features of “the plateau” (PYTHIA) events:
increase of collectivity effects in PYTHIA
(of Colour correlations and Gluon-gluon string formation)
leads to:
1) Increased formation of the number of paticle emitting sources
2) Damping of the mean multipliicty of “plateau” events
3) Increased <p_t> values for “plateau” events
3) 1.5 increase of yields Λ/<Nch> for “plateau” events

Summary
20.04.23 36
1) It is proposed to start study of the <n>n, <p_t>n and <p_t> p_t Long-Range Correlations (LRC) in рр collisions in ALICE at the LHC.
2) This will provide a new information on the number of particle emitting sources, formed in the collisions and to select a class of unique events that might be characterized as “the very central collisions” , possessing the maximal energy density
3) “Saturation effects” in <n>n or <p_t>n correlations in pp collisions, - in case if they are confirmed experimentally, - are important for the future analysis of possible formation and hadronisation processes of the QGP.

1). Short 900 GeV min bias pp run is interesting for this analysis to start and to compare to the existing data on multiplicity correlation
N-N long-range correlation : Statistics about 1 - 2 x 10^5 events should be sufficient for the comparison to the existing data at 900 GeV( E735 Collaboration, “Charged particle multiplicity correlations in ppbar collisions at 0.3-1.8 TeV”, Physics Letters B 353 (1995) 155-160 ) ,where about 150000 events data were accumulated
2). 10 TeV min bias run has to provide 2-3 x 10^5 of events for p_t-n correlation coefficient determination (This corresponds to [-1..0], [0..1]
rapidity windows). In a case of smaller windows of 0.2 units of rapidity the minimal required
statistics will be 1 - 2 x 10^6 .
N-N long-range correlation saturation: study will require statistics of about 10^7 events.
