Correlations from hydrodynamic flow in p-Pb collisions

Understand

Two-particle correlations in relative rapidity and azimuth are studied for the p-Pb collisions at the LHC energy of 5.02 TeV in the framework of event-by-event 3+1-dimensional viscous hydrodynamics.

• It is found that for the highest-multiplicity events the observed ridge structures appear in a natural way, suggesting that collective flow may be an important element in the evolution of the system.
• We also discuss the role of the charge balancing and the transverse-momentum conservation.
