| Summary: | New phenomena involving pseudorapidity and azimuthal correlations among final-state particles in pp collisions at the LHC can hint at the existence of hidden sectors beyond the Standard Model. In this paper we rely on a correlated-cluster picture of multiparticle production, which was shown to account for the ridge effect, to assess the effect of a hidden sector on three-particle correlations concluding that there is a potential signature of new physics that can be directly tested by experiments using well-known techniques. Keywords: pp interactions at LHC, Models beyond the Standard Model, Multiparticle azimuthal and rapidity correlations, Hidden Valley models, Correlated clusters
