Abstract

Two-particle correlations in relative azimuthal angle (Δϕ) and pseudorapidity (Δη) are measured in sqrt[s_{NN}]=5.02  TeV p+Pb collisions using the ATLAS detector at the LHC. The measurements are performed using approximately 1  μb^{-1} of data as a function of transverse momentum (p_{T}) and the transverse energy (ΣE_{T}^{Pb}) summed over 3.1<η<4.9 in the direction of the Pb beam. The correlation function, constructed from charged particles, exhibits a long-range (2<|Δη|<5) "near-side" (Δϕ∼0) correlation that grows rapidly with increasing ΣE_{T}^{Pb}. A long-range "away-side" (Δϕ∼π) correlation, obtained by subtracting the expected contributions from recoiling dijets and other sources estimated using events with small ΣE_{T}^{Pb}, is found to match the near-side correlation in magnitude, shape (in Δη and Δϕ) and ΣE_{T}^{Pb} dependence. The resultant Δϕ correlation is approximately symmetric about π/2, and is consistent with a dominant cos⁡2Δϕ modulation for all ΣE_{T}^{Pb} ranges and particle p_{T}.
