Abstract: (Elsevier)
We show that the key features of the CMS result on the ridge correlation seen for high multiplicity events in s=7 TeV proton–proton collisions at the LHC can be understood in the Color Glass Condensate framework of high energy QCD. The same formalism underlies the explanation of the ridge events seen in A+A collisions at RHIC, albeit it is likely that flow effects may enhance the magnitude of the signal in the latter.Note:
