Figure 1: Two-particle correlation functions for 7 TeV pp (a), 2.76 TeV PbPb (b), and 5.02 TeV pPb (c) collisions. The arrow shows the long-range correlations at small Δφ.
Unexplained long-range correlations observed in pPb collisions
CMS has published its first paper on proton-lead (pPb) collisions, describing the observation of a phenomenon that was previously seen first in nucleus-nucleus collisions but also detected by CMS in proton-proton (pp) collisions. The effect is a…

New two-particle correlations observed in the CMS detector at the LHC
The CMS Collaboration at CERN released today a paper entitled "Observation of Long-Range Near-Side Angular Correlations in Proton-Proton Collisions" that details signs of a new phenomenon in proton interactions. A study of "high multiplicity"…
