Abstract

In this paper we continue our program to construct a model for high energy soft interactions, based on the CGC/saturation approach. We demonstrate that in our model which describes diffractive physics as well as multi-particle production at high energy, the density variation mechanism leads to the value of $v_2$ which is about $60\% \div 70\%$ of the measured $v_2$. Bearing in mind that in CGC/saturation approach there are two other mechanisms present: Bose enhancement in the wave function and local anisotropy, we believe that the azimuthal long range rapidity correlations in proton-proton collisions stem from the CGC/saturation physics, and not from quark-gluon plasma production.<br />Comment: 21 pp., 12 figures in eps files. arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1508.04236
