Abstract: (arXiv)
We report on the measurement of inclusive, non-prompt, and prompt J/ψ\psi-hadron correlations by the ALICE Collaboration at the CERN Large Hadron Collider in pp collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. The correlations are studied at midrapidity (y<0.9|y| < 0.9) in the transverse momentum ranges pT<40 GeV/cp_{\rm T} < 40~\text{GeV}/c for the J/ψ\psi and 0.15<pT<100.15 < p_{\rm T} < 10 GeV/cc and η<0.9|\eta|<0.9 for the associated hadrons. The measurement is based on minimum bias and high multiplicity data samples corresponding to integrated luminosities of Lint=34 nb1L_{\text{int}} = 34~\text{nb}^{-1} and Lint=6.9 pb1L_{\text{int}} = 6.9~\text{pb}^{-1}, respectively. In addition, two more data samples are employed, requiring, on top of the minimum bias condition, a threshold on the tower energy of E=4E = 4 and 9 GeV9~\text{GeV} in the ALICE electromagnetic calorimeters, which correspond to integrated luminosities of Lint=0.9 pb1L_{\text{int}} = 0.9~\text{pb}^{-1} and Lint=8.4 pb1L_{\text{int}} = 8.4~\text{pb}^{-1}, respectively. The results are presented as associated hadron yields per J/ψ\psi trigger as a function of the azimuthal angle difference between the associated hadrons and J/ψ\psi mesons. The integrated near-side and away-side correlated yields are also extracted as a function of the J/ψ\psi transverse momentum. The measurements are discussed in comparison to PYTHIA calculations.
