Role of Multi-Parton Interactions on $J/\psi$ production in $p+p$ collisions at LHC Energies

Abstract

The production mechanism of quarkonia states in hadronic collisions is still to be understood by the scientific community. In high-multiplicity $p+p$ collisions, Underlying Event (UE) observables are of major interest. The Multi-Parton Interactions (MPI) is a UE observable, where several interactions occur at the partonic level in a single $p+p$ event. This leads to dependence of particle production on event multiplicity. If the MPI occurs in a harder scale, there will be a correlation between the yield of quarkonia and total charged particle multiplicity. The ALICE experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in $p+p$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 7 and 13 TeV has observed an approximate linear increase of relative $J/\psi$ yield ($\frac{d{N}_{J/\psi }/dy}{<d{N}_{J/\psi }/dy>}$) with relative charged particle multiplicity density ($\frac{d{N}_{ch}/dy}{<d{N}_{ch}/dy>}$). In our present work we have performed a comprehensive study of the production of charmonia as a function of charged particle multiplicity in $p+p$ collisions at LHC energies using pQCD-inspired multiparton interaction model, PYTHIA8 tune 4C, with and without Color Reconnection (CR) scheme. A detail multiplicity and energy dependent study is performed to understand the effects of MPI on $J/\psi$ production. The ratio of $\psi (2S)$ to $J/\psi$ is also studied as a function of charged particle multiplicity at LHC energies.
