Abstract
One of the hot topics at the LHC is the double ridge observed in small systems.
Originally it was found in p-Pb collisions at sqrt(sNN) = 5.02 TeV when subtracting low
multiplicity from high multiplicity events. This thesis attempts to isolate a double ridge
in pp collisions at sqrt(sNN) = 13 TeV by utilizing multiplicity and transverse spherocity.
While the double ridge was not successfully isolated, the results display potential issues
with the transverse spherocity selection of QGP-like events. This thesis outlines the
method used for the analysis and discusses the results.
