Abstract:
Studies of collective long-range (large gap) correlations involving open charm and beauty hadrons in pp and pPb collisions are presented, using data samples collected by the CMS experiment with center-of-mass energies of 13 and 8.16 TeV, respectively. The elliptic flow harmonics () of prompt and nonprompt mesons (from beauty hadron decays) are extracted from long-range two-particle azimuthal correlations, with respect to inclusive charged particles. In pp collisions, positive signals for prompt charm hadrons are reported for the first time over a transverse momentum () range of 2-4 GeV. The signals are comparable to those for light-flavor hadron species. Compared at similar event multiplicities, the prompt meson values in pp and pPb are similar in magnitude. The signal for open beauty hadrons is extracted for the first time via nonprompt meson in pPb collisions, with a magnitude smaller than that for prompt meson at between 2-5 GeV. The new measurements provide strong indications of a postive charm hadron in the smallest pp systems and a flavor hierarchy of between charm and beauty hadrons in the pPb systems, providing key insights to further understand the origin of heavy flavor quark collectivity in small-system collisions.Note:
