Event-by-event mean $p_{\mathrm{T}}$ fluctuations and transverse size of color flux tube generated in $p$-$p$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}$=0.90TeV

Abstract

We propose a novel phenomenological model of mean transverse momentum fluctuations based on the Geometrical Scaling hypothesis. Bose-Einstein correlations between two gluons generated from an identical color flux tube are taken into account as a source of the fluctuation. We calculate an event-by-event fluctuation measure $\sqrt{C_m}/⟨p_{\mathrm{T}}⟩$ and show that ALICE data observed at $\sqrt{s}=$0.90 TeV for $p$+$p$ collisions are reproduced. By fitting our model to the experimental data, we evaluate the transverse size of the color flux tube as a function of the multiplicity.
