On description of the correlation between multiplicities in windows separated in azimuth and rapidity

Abstract

The forward-backward (FB) multiplicity correlations in two windows separated in rapidity and azimuth are analyzed in the framework of the model with independent identical emitters (strings). Along with the short-range contribution, originating from the correlation between particles produced by a single string, the long-range contribution, originating from the fluctuation in the number of strings, is taken into account. The connection of the FB multiplicity correlation coefficient with the two-particle correlation function and the di-hadron correlation analysis is traced. It's also shown that the direct azimuthal flow leads to the forward ridge structure in the resulting two-particle correlation function.
