Abstract
We present an evidence of strong radial flow in high-multiplicity pp collisions. We analyze the CMS data on the inclusive spectra of the charged pions, kaons and protons in the LHC TeV collisions. For we demonstrate the consistency of the hydrodynamic description with the (idealized) Gubser's flow. Using a one parameter fit of the model to experimental data, we obtain the initial fireball size to be of the order of 1 fm. At smaller multiplicities, the fit cannot be performed which shows a limitation of the hydrodynamic approach and provides us with falsifiability of our theory.
