Collectivity in pp from resummed interference effects?

Abstract

Azimuthal asymmetries $v_n$ in the soft transverse momentum spectra of hadronic collisions can result as a consequence of quantum interference and color flow which translates spatial anisotropies into momentum anisotropies via multipole radiation patterns. Here, we analyze to what extent these effects result in signal strengths $v_n\{2s\}$ that can persist in higher order $(2s)$ cumulants. In a simple model of soft multi-particle production with quantum interference effects in which $m$ particles are emitted from $N$ sources and in which interference contributions appear naturally ordered in inverse powers of the adjoint color trace, $1/(N_c^2-1)$, we provide the first resummed calculation of all powers of $m^2/(N_c^2-1)$. This allows one to determine all higher order flow cumulants $v_n\{2s\}$ with the same parametric accuracy. For a phenomenologically relevant range of $N$ sources emitting $m$ particles, we find that the even flow coefficients $v_n\{2s\}$ decrease very mildly with increasing cumulants. This provides a proof of principle that non-vanishing higher order cumulants $v_n\{2s\}$ can persist in systems that exhibit neither final state interactions nor phenomena related to high (saturated) initial parton densities.
