报告简介:

Transverse momentum distribution of jets and hadrons provide useful information on the collision mechanisms and their subsequent dynamics. In collisions at LHC energies, the hadron spectra from the lowest to the highest $p_T$ in high-energy pp collisions at central rapidity can be adequately described by a single Tsallis distribution with only three degrees of freedom. Such simplicity suggests the dominance of the relativistic hard-scattering process over the measured pT domain in pp collisions at LHC energies. We shall explore the implications of such a result on the role of the competing flux-tube fragmentation process and on the initial conditions for the occurrence of the near-side ridge in pp collisions.
