Charged-hadron production in the three-sources RDM at LHC energies

Abstract

Abstract. The centrality dependence of charged-hadron production in relativistic heavyion collisions at LHC energies is investigated in a nonequilibrium-statistical relativistic diffusion model (RDM) with three sources. Theoretical pseudorapidity distributions are compared with preliminary PbPb ALICE data at LHC energy of √ s NN = 2.76 TeV for seven centralities, and a previous RDM prediction for this energy is confronted with the data. Refined predictions for 5.52 TeV PbPb based on RDM parameter extrapolations are presented.

Production of charged hadrons in muon deep inelastic scattering

“…The preliminary analysis predicts that the rapidity distribution of the produced particles is a superposition of two components; namely, the target and projectile fragmentation components at high rapidity that is arising mostly from valence quark-gluon interactions, and the central component at mid-rapidity that is due to gluon-gluon interactions [1].…”
