Azimuthal Angle Correlations of Muons Produced via Heavy-Flavor Decays in 5.02 TeV Pb + Pb and pp Collisions with the ATLAS Detector
Original language description
Angular correlations between heavy quarks provide a unique probe of the quark-gluon plasma created in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions. Results are presented of a measurement of the azimuthal angle correlations between muons originating from semileptonic decays of heavy quarks produced in 5.02 TeV Pb + Pb and pp collisions at the LHC. The muons are measured with transverse momenta and pseudorapidities satisfying pμ T > 4 GeV and jημj < 2.4, respectively. The distributions of azimuthal angle separation Δϕ for muon pairs having pseudorapidity separation jΔηj > 0.8, are measured in different Pb + Pb centrality intervals and compared to the same distribution measured in pp collisions at the same center-of-mass energy. Results are presented separately for muon pairs with opposite-sign charges, samesign charges, and all pairs. A clear peak is observed in all Δϕ distributions at Δϕ TILDE OPERATOR+D91 π, consistent with the parent heavy-quark pairs being produced via hard-scattering processes. The widths of that peak, characterized using Cauchy-Lorentz fits to the Δϕ distributions, are found to not vary significantly as a function of Pb + Pb collision centrality and are similar for pp and Pb þ Pb collisions. This observation will provide important constraints on theoretical descriptions of heavy-quark interactions with the quark gluon plasma.
