Abstract.

We study the correlations of D mesons produced in p+p and p+Pb collisions. These are found to be sensitive to the effects of the cold nuclear medium and the transverse momentum (\( p_{{\rm T}}\)) regions we are looking into. In order to put this on a quantitative footing, as a first step we analyse the azimuthal correlations of D meson-charged hadron (Dh), and then predict the same for D meson-anti D meson (\( {\rm D}\overline{{\rm D}}\)) pairs in p+p and p+Pb collisions with strong coupling at leading order \(\mathcal{O}(\alpha_{{\rm s}}^{2})\) and next-to-leading order \(\mathcal{O}(\alpha_{{\rm s}}^{3})\), which includes space-time evolution (in both systems) as well as cold nuclear matter effects (in p+Pb). This also sets the stage and baseline for the identification and study of medium modification of azimuthal correlations in relativistic collision of heavy nuclei at the Large Hadron Collider.
