Influence of quantum conservation laws on particle production in hadron collisions

Conservation laws strongly influence production of particles in high-energy particle collisions. Effects connected to these mechanisms were studied in details using correlation techniques in \ee\ collisions. At the time, models were tuned to correctly reproduce the measurements. Similar studies for hadron-hadron collisions have never been performed, until recent ALICE measurements. ALICE has reported on studies of untriggered two-particle angular correlations of identified particles ($\pi$, $K$, and p) measured in pp collisions at center-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s}=$ 7 TeV. Those preliminary results confirm that also in hadron-hadron collisions, at much higher energies, conservation laws strongly influence the shape of the correlation functions for different particle types and must be taken into account while analysing the data. Moreover, they show that the contemporary models (PYTHIA, PHOJET) no longer reproduce the experimental data well.
