Comments on "Observation of Long-Range, Near-Side Angular Correlations in Proton-Proton Collisions at the LHC" by the CMS collaboration(arXiv:1009.4122v1 [hep-ex])"

Abstract

It is the purpose of this note to point out that the CMS observation is in line with previous observations in particle physics at large transverse momenta and/or high multiplicities at lower energies, which were interpreted as possible evidence for quark-gluon plasma (QGP), and to suggest other features of the QGP observed in A+A collisions such as radial flow and jet quenching, which should be investigated in p-p collisions in order to provide further evidence for QGP production
