The HBT radii extracted in pp and pp collisions at SPS and Tevatron show a clear correlation with the charged particle rapidity density. We propose to explain the correlation using a simple model where the distance from the initial hard parton-parton scattering to the hadronization point depends on the energy of the partons emitted. Since the particle multiplicity is correlated with the mean energy of the partons produced we can explain the experimental observations without invoking scenarios that assume a thermal fireball. The model has been applied with success to the existing experimental data both in the magnitude and the intensity of the correlation. The model has also been extended to pp collisions at the LHC energy of 14 TeV. The possibilities of a better insight into the string spatial development using 3D HBT analysis are discussed.
The effect of hard processes to be encountered in HBT studies at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) have been studied. A simple simulation has allowed us to generate momentum correlations involving jet particles as well as particles originating from the kinetic freeze-out and to compare them to a simple theoretical model which has been developed. The first results on the effect of hard processes on the correlation function for the case of jet quenching are presented.
