Baryon stopping in high energy collisions and the extrapolation of hadron production models to Cosmic Ray energies
نویسنده
چکیده
A new striking feature of hadron production in nuclear collisions is the large stopping of the participating nucleons in hadron–nucleus and nucleus–nucleus collisions. This enhanced baryon stopping can be understood introducing new diquark breaking mechanisms in multistring models of hadron production. Here we show, that similar diquark breaking mechanisms occur at high energy even in hadron–hadron collisions. This effect leads to significant changes in the extrapolation of these models to Cosmic Ray energies.

0 Baryon stopping in high energy collisions in the DPMJET – III model
A recently discovered feature of hadron production in nuclear collisions is the large stopping of the participating nucleons in hadron–nucleus and nucleus– nucleus collisions. Experimental data demonstrating this effect have been presented in [1,2]. Multistring fragmentation models like the Dual Parton Model (DPM) or similar models did originally not show this enhanced stopping in nuclear colli...
متن کاملFrom RHIC to LHC: A relativistic diffusion approach
We investigate the energy dependence of stopping and hadron production in high-energy heavy-ion collisions based on a three-sources Relativistic Diffusion Model. The transport coefficients are extrapolated from Au + Au and Cu + Cu at RHIC energies ( √ sNN=19.6 200 GeV) to Pb + Pb at LHC energies √ sNN= 5.52 TeV. Rapidity distributions for net protons, and pseudorapidity spectra for produced cha...
متن کاملBaryon Stopping and Strangeness Production in Ultra-relativistic Heavy Ion Collisions *
The stopping behaviour of baryons in massive heavy ion collisions ( √ s ≫ 10AGeV) is investigated within different microscopic models. At SPS-energies the predictions range from full stopping to virtually total transparency. Experimental data are indicating strong stopping. The initial baryo-chemical potentials and temperatures at collider energies and their impact on the formation probability ...
متن کاملThe Comparison of the shares of stopping power in a soft tissue-equivalent material
Introduction: Proton therapy is a type of radiation treatment that it uses protons to treat cancer. Because of the protons’ unique ability to distribute the radiation dose more directly to the tumor, it minimizes the damage to nearby healthy tissues. The rate of energy loss by the ion in the target is called stopping power. The total stopping power is sum nuclear and electroni...
متن کاملStrong colour fields and cosmic ray showers at ultra-high energies
We argue that the increase of the ratio baryon/meson due to the presence of strong colour fields and percolation in ultra-high energy hadronic collisions, helps to explain some of the global features of ultra-high energy cosmic ray cascades at E > 1018 eV and, in particular the observed excess in the number of muons with respect to current models of hadronic interactions. A reasonable agreement...
