Abstract (data abstract)
CERN-LHC. ALICE Measurement of charged particles differential transverse momentum correlation function, $\Delta p_{\rm T}\Delta p_{\rm T}$, in Pb-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}= 2.76$ TeV. The correlations are reported as a function of the relative pseudorapidity and azimuthal angle difference, $\Delta\varphi$. The $\Delta\varphi$ dependence is found to be largely independent of $\Delta\eta$ at $\Delta\eta > 0.9$. $\Delta p_{\rm T}\Delta p_{\rm T}$ exhibits a strong dependence on collision centrality that is qualitatively similar to that of number correlations, R2, previously reported. In 0-5% most central Pb--Pb collisions the two particle transverse momentum correlation function exhibits a cleartwo hump structure at the 'away-side', an indication of the dominance of triangular flow. Detailed comparison of R2 and $\Delta p_{\rm T}\Delta p_{\rm T}$ correlation functions utilizing Fourier decomposition show that the $\Delta p_{\rm T}\Delta p_{\rm T}$ correlations at $\Delta\eta > 0.9$ can be well reproduced by the flow ansatz, assuming that all the correlations are dominated by the anisotropic flow.
