Abstract

Short range correlations of identified charged hadrons in pp (s=\sqrt{s} = 0.9, 2.76, and 7 TeV), pPb (sNN=\sqrt{s_{_\mathrm{NN}}} = 5.02 TeV), and peripheral PbPb collisions (sNN=\sqrt{s_{_\mathrm{NN}}} = 2.76 TeV) are studied with the CMS detector at the LHC. Charged pions, kaons, and protons at low momentum and in laboratory pseudorapidity η<1|\eta| < 1 are identified via their energy loss in the silicon tracker. The two-particle correlation functions show effects of quantum statistics, Coulomb interaction, and also indicate the role of multi-body resonance decays and mini-jets. The characteristics of the one-, two-, and three-dimensional correlation functions are studied as a function of transverse pair momentum, kTk_\text{T}, and the charged-particle multiplicity of the event. The extracted radii are in the range 1-5 fm, reaching highest values for very high multiplicity pPb, also for similar multiplicity PbPb collisions, and decrease with increasing kTk_\text{T}. The dependence of radii on multiplicity and kTk_\text{T} largely factorizes and appears to be insensitive to the type of the colliding system and center-of-mass energy.
