Abstract: (arXiv)
We investigate femtoscopic ππ\pi \pi correlations using the UrQMD approach combined with a correlation afterburner. The dependence of ππ\pi \pi correlations on the charged particle multiplicity and formation time in p+p collisions at sNN\sqrt{s_{NN}}= 7 TeV is explored and compared to present ALICE data. The data allows to constrain the formation time in the string fragmentation to τf0.8\tau_f \leq 0.8 fm/c.
