Description
Ridge-like correlations in high-energy proton-proton collisions
reported by the CMS collaboration suggest a collective flow that
resembles the one in heavy-ion collisions. If the hydrodynamic
description is valid then the effect results from the initial
anisotropy of the colliding matter, which depends on the distribution
of matter in protons. Following recent theoretical developments, we
propose several phenomenological models of the proton structure and
estimate the associated anisotropy coefficients in p-p collisions
using the Monte Carlo Glauber model[1]. Our estimates suggest that
the initial anisotropy in some models appears capable of accounting
for the p-p ridge effect, with potentially discernible differences
in dependence on multiplicity.
