Abstract

The transverse momentum spectrums of final-state products produced in nucleus-nucleus and proton-proton collisions at different center-of-mass energies are analyzed by using a multicomponent Erlang distribution and the Lévy distribution. The results calculated by the two models are found in most cases to be in agreement with experimental data from the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) and the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The multicomponent Erlang distribution that resulted from a multisource thermal model seems to give a better description as compared with the Lévy distribution. The temperature parameters of interacting system corresponding to different types of final-state products are obtained. Light particles correspond to a low temperature emission, and heavy particles correspond to a high temperature emission. Extracted temperature from central collisions is higher than that from peripheral collisions.

Summary

Introduction

The Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) in USA and the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in Switzerland have been built to study properties of matters formed in high-energy collisions These collisions are helpful in understanding particles’ statistical behavior, production process, interaction mechanism, and related phenomenon in high-density and high-temperature states. We can study transverse momentum spectrums by Advances in High Energy Physics using the multicomponent Erlang distribution [7, 8] or the Levy distribution [9,10,11] to extract temperature parameters. The transverse momentum spectrums of different final-state products produced in nucleus-nucleus and proton-proton collisions at RHIC and LHC energies are studied with the two distributions mentioned above. Temperature parameters are obtained from fitting experimental data of the STAR, CMS, and ALICE Collaborations
