Abstract

We investigate the azimuthal correlations of the glasma in p-p collisions at sNN=7\sqrt{s_{\mathrm{NN}}}=7 TeV by using the CGC formalism. As expected, the azimuthal correlations show two peaks at Δϕ=0\Delta\phi=0 and π\pi which represent collimation production in CGC. Beyond that, azimuthal correlations show fine structures, i.e. bumps or shoulders between the two peaks, when at least one gluon has small xx. The structures are demonstrated to be associated with saturation momentum, and likely appear at transverse momentum around 2Qsp=1.82Q_{\mathrm{sp}}=1.8 GeV//c.
