Medium modification type phenomena observed in high-multiplicity p+p collisions at LHC energies
Abstract
Nuclear modification factor predicts whether a medium is formed in a collision system or not. One may verify, if scaling of momentum (transverse) distribution from heavy-ion systems with incoherent superposition of number of binary collision, is making up the magnitude of elementary like systems. It was observed in a wide range of experimental data that in lower momentum (transverse) region, initial state effects (viz. cold-nuclear matter effect or radial flow) enhances it. While in higher momentum (transverse) region, final state effects (viz. jet quenching or re-scattering effects) suppresses it. In this article we made an attempt to predict and explain if this heavy-ion like effect can be seen in elementary collisions at favorable experimental conditions. We have employed PYTHIA8 model in this regard, and used effects which give collective-like behaviour within the model constraint. Results from this model qualitatively explains the behaviour observed in heavy-ion systems.
