Description
Event-by-event fluctuations of the mean transverse momentum, $\langle p_{\rm T}\rangle$, of charged particles produced in Pb-Pb and Xe-Xe collisions at $\sqrt{s_\rm{NN}}$ = 5.02 TeV and $\sqrt{s_\rm{NN}}$ =5.44 TeV, respectively, are studied as a function of the charged-particle multiplicity using the ALICE detector at the LHC. Dynamical fluctuations are observed in both collision systems which indicate correlated particle emission. The central Pb-Pb and Xe-Xe collisions show a significant reduction of the fluctuation in comparison to peripheral collisions and are in qualitative agreement with previous measurements in Pb-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_\rm{NN}}$ = 2.76 TeV. The results are compared with the HIJING model. A clear deviation from a simple superposition scenario, where the final state particles are produced from the superposition of particle emitting sources, is observed.
