The azimuthal collimation of dihadrons with large rapidity separations in high multiplicity p + p collisions at the LHC is described in the color glass condensate (CGC) effective theory [A. Dumitru, K. Dusling, F. Gelis, J. Jalilian-Marian, T. Lappi, and R. Venugopalan, Phys. Lett. B 697, 21 (2011).] by N-c(2) suppressed multiladder QCD diagrams that are enhanced alpha(-8)(S) due to gluon saturation in hadron wave functions. We show that quantitative computations in the CGC framework are in good agreement with data from the CMS experiment on per trigger dihadron yields and predict further systematics of these yields with varying trigger p(T) and charged hadron multiplicity. Radial flow generated by rescattering is strongly limited by the structure of the p + p dihadron correlations. In contrast, radial flow explains the systematics of identical measurements in heavy ion collisions.
