Multiplicity dependence of the average transverse momentum in pp, p–Pb, and Pb–Pb collisions at the LHC

Abstract

The average transverse momentum ⟨pT⟩ versus the charged-particle multiplicity Nch was measured in p-Pb collisions at a collision energy per nucleon-nucleon pair √sNN = 5.02 TeV and in pp collisions at collision energies of s√=0.9, 2.76, and 7 TeV in the kinematic range $0.15
