Centrality dependence of the multiplicity and transverse momentum distributions at RHIC and LHC and the percolation of strings
نویسندگان
چکیده
The dependence of the multiplicity and the transverse momentum distribution on the number of collisions are studied for central and peripheral Au-Au collisions at SPS, RHIC and LHC energies in the framework of percolation of strings. A scaling law relating the multiplicity to the mean transverse momentum is obtained. Our results are in overall agreement with the SPS and RHIC data, obtaining a suppression on pT distribution even for pT larger than 1 GeV/c.

Correlations at RHIC and the Clustering of Color Sources
We present our results on transverse momentum fluctuations and multiplicity fluctuations in the framework of the clustering of color sources. In this approach, elementary color sources stringsoverlap forming clusters, so the number of effective sources is modified. These clusters decay into particles with mean transverse momentum that depends on the number of elementary sources that conform eac...

The behaviour of the normalized variance of the multiplictiy distribution and the normalized transverse momentum fluctuations with centrality is naturally explained by the dependence on centrality of the number of clusters of color sources. This dependence predicts a nonmonotonic behaviour with centrality of the multiplicity associated to high p T events. The clustering of color sources is also...

In AA collisions fusion and percolation of colour strings is studied at fixed rapidity y. Distribution of strings in rapidity is obtained from the observed rapidity spectra in pp collisions. For y-dependence of multiplicities in Au-Au collisions good agreement is obtained with the existing experimental data. Predictions for LHC energies coincide with the extrapolation of the data. Agreement wit...
