Investigating high energy proton proton collisions with a multi-phase transport model approach based on PYTHIA8 initial conditions

Abstract The striking resemblance of high multiplicity proton-proton (pp) collisions at the LHC to heavy ion collisions challenges our conventional wisdom on the formation of the quark-gluon plasma (QGP). A consistent explanation of the collectivity phenomena in pp will help us to understand the mec...
