Abstract Transverse spherocity ( S 0 ) has evolved as a powerful method to distinguish between soft and hard contributions in an event in small collision systems. We used the two-particle differential-number correlation functions ( R 2 ) and transverse momentum correlation functions ( P 2 ) of charged particles produced in pp collisions at <?CDATA $\sqrt{s\,}\,=\,7$?> <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline" overflow="scroll"> <mml:mrow> <mml:msqrt> <mml:mrow> <mml:mi>s</mml:mi> <m…
