Exploring the Effects of Color Reconnection on Net-Charge Fluctuations in $pp$ Collisions at $\sqrt{s}=2.76 \text{ TeV}$ using PYTHIA Monash

This work explores the effects of various color reconnection (CR) configurations on the net charge fluctuations of charged particles generated in $pp$ collisions at a center-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s}$ = 2.76 TeV, simulated with the PYTHIA Monash using the variable $\nu_{(+,-,\text{dyn})}$. The results are compared with experimental data from ALICE, revealing that the current PYTHIA simulation settings overestimate the net charge fluctuations relative to the experimental observations. Furthermore, $\nu_{(+,-,\text{dyn})}$ exhibits a clear dependence on the MPICR range parameter, where increasing the range leads to more negative $\nu_{(+,-,\text{dyn})}$ values, suggesting the geometric extent of CR directly modulates the strength of local charge correlation. To ensure these effects are not a trivial consequence of particle density, a comparison with a retuned NoCR baseline at fixed multiplicity was performed. This analysis confirms that CR induces a genuine dynamical shift in fluctuations that persists independently of the average charged-particle density. The study also shows that the net charge and net pion channels display the strongest suppression in $\langle N_{\text{ch}} \rangle \nu_{(+-,\text{dyn})}$ compared to the net kaon and net proton channels. Overall, the study offers a useful benchmark against experimental results and sheds light on the underlying dynamics of the PYTHIA Monash.

The study of strongly intensive observables for $π^{\pm,0}$ in $pp$ collisions at LHC energy in the framework of PYTHIA model

The fractal and phase transitional properties of each type of pions (i.e. $π^{\pm,0}$) through one-dimensional $η-$space, at an energy of $\sqrt{s}=13~$TeV, have been studied with the help of the Scaled Factorial Moment (SFM) framework. To generate simulated data sets for $pp$ collisions under the minimum bias (MB) condition at $\sqrt{s}=13~$TeV, we have employed the Monte Carlo-based event simulator PYTHIA. Various parameters such as the Levy index $(μ)$, degree of multifractality $(r)$, anomalous fractal dimension $(d_q)$, multifractal specific heat $(c)$ and critical exponent $(ν)$ have been calculated. To study the Bose Einstein(BE) effect due to identical particles (here pions) we have also derived these parameters for mixed pion pairs (i.e. $\{π^{+},π^{-}\}$, $\{π^{+},π^{0}\}$ and $\{π^{-},π^{0}\}$) and we find that the effects of identical particles weakened for the mixture with respect to the individual distributions. The quest for the quark-hadron phase transition has also been conducted within the framework of the Ginzburg-Landau (GL) theory of second-order phase transition. Analysis revealed that for PYTHIA-generated MB events, there is a clear indication of the quark-hadron phase transition according to the GL theory. Furthermore, the values of the multifractal specific heat ($c$) for each $π^{+}, π^{-}, π^{0}$ and the mixture pair data sets of pions generated by PYTHIA model at MB condition, indicate a transition from multifractality to monofractality in $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}=13~$TeV.
