Abstract

We present the first study of collectivity inside jets with high charged multiplicity Nj\rm ch in proton-proton collisions at the Large Hadron Collider. By incorporating final-state partonic and hadronic interactions through cascade models among jet shower partons and final hadrons, we investigate and compare to the CMS experimental data on multiplicity distribution, pseudorapidity distribution, and elliptic anisotropy coefficient vj2 of two-particle correlations within the jet. We show that final-state partonic interactions are essential for producing the flow-like long-range correlation, which leads to the enhanced tail in the Nj\rm ch dependence of vj2 above the non-flow correlation from jet parton showering at high multiplicities (Nj\rm ch\gtrsim70) as observed in the CMS experimental data. In addition, we provide predictions for the pseudorapidity-gap dependence of vj2 that can be tested in future experimental measurements.
