Forward-backward correlations in proton-proton collisions at the LHC energy: A model based study

Abstract

Forward-backward (FB) multiplicity and momentum correlations of produced particles between symmetrically located pseudorapidity ($\eta$) intervals have been studied using the $p$QCD inspired EPOS3 model with and without hydrodynamical evolution of particles in proton-proton ($pp$) collisions at the center-of-mass energy, $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV. The pseudorapidity-gap (${\eta }_{gap}$) dependence of FB correlation strength is compared with our previously published results at $\sqrt{s}=$ 0.9, 2.76 and 7 TeV. The study reveals that the general trends of FB correlation strength at $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV are similar to our previous observations at lower center-of-mass energies. We also find that the $\delta \eta$-weightage average of FB correlation strength as a function of different center-of-mass energies ($\sqrt{s}=$ 0.9, 2.76, 7 and 13 TeV) tends to saturate at very high energy.
