FORMULATION OF NEGATIVELY CHARGED PARTICLE RAPIDITY DISTRIBUTION IN NUCLEUS–NUCLEUS COLLISIONS AT HIGH ENERGY
The negatively charged particle rapidity distribution in nucleus–nucleus collisions at high energy has been described by the thermalized cylinder picture. The calculated results are compared and found to be in agreement with the experimental data of the reactions 16O + Au at 60A and 200A GeV, 32S + Ag and S at 200A GeV, and 208Pb + Pb at 158A GeV bombarding energies.

Singly and Doubly Charged Projectile Fragments in Nucleus-Emulsion Collisions at Dubna Energy in the Framework of the Multi-Source Model *
The multiplicity distributions of projectile fragments emitted in interactions of different nuclei with emulsion are studied by using a multi-source model. Our calculated results show that the projectile fragments can be described by the model and each source contributes an exponential distribution. As the weighted sum of the folding result of many exponential distributions, a multi-component Erlang distribution is used to describe the experimental data. The relationship between the height (or width) of the distribution and the mass of the incident projectile, as well as the dependence of projectile fragments on target groups, are investigated too.

Alpha emission in krypton–emulsion collisions at 1.7A GeV
Abstract The multiplicity and transverse momentum distributions of alpha projectile fragments emitted in nucleus–nucleus collisions at high energies are investigated. The results calculated by the two-source model are in agreement with the experimental data of krypton–emulsion collisions at 1.7 A  GeV.

ANGULAR DISTRIBUTIONS OF TARGET BLACK FRAGMENTS IN NUCLEUS NUCLEUS COLLISIONS AT HIGH ENERGY
The experimental results of space, azimuthal, and projected angular distributions of target black fragments produced in silicon-emulsion collisions at 4.5A GeV/c (the Dubna energy) are reported. A multi-source ideal gas model is suggested to describe the experimental angular distributions. The Monte Carlo calculated results are in agreement with the experimental data.

Particle production in Au–Au collisions at RHIC energies
Abstract An overlapping cylinder model (OCM) is introduced in this Letter which considers three components: the longitudinal flow, transverse flow and the temperature. A comparison of our model calculations in terms of pseudorapidity distributions with the most recent experiments is presented. To describe the experimental data at Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) energies ( s NN =130 and 200 GeV), a relative strong longitudinal flow and two partly overlapping cylinders are needed in the model. The difference between the different centrality events is described by the contribution of leading protons. The other parameter values do not depend on the centrality. The calculated results of the overlapping cylinder model are in agreement with the experimental data at the RHIC energies.

On Current Conversion between Particle Rapidity and Pseudorapidity Distributions in High Energy Collisions
In high energy collisions, one usually needs to give a conversion between the particle rapidity and pseudorapidity distributions. Currently, two equivalent conversion formulas are used in experimental and theoretical analyses. An investigation in the present work shows that the two conversions are incomplete. Then, we give a revision on the current conversion between the particle rapidity and pseudorapidity distributions.

Dependences of charged particle pseudorapidity distributions on impact parameter and center-of-mass energy in nucleus–nucleus collisions at relativistic energies
The centrality and rapidity dependence of charged particles over a wide range of center-of-mass energy are analyzed. In this framework of participant-spectator model, the interacting system of nucleus–nucleus collisions at relativistic energies is divided into four parts (sources): target spectator, target participant, projectile participant and projectile spectator. Each source is treated by using a revised Landau model. The pseudorapidity distributions calculated by four-component Landau model are found to be in agreement with experimental data of the PHOBOS and ALICE collaborations. The distribution height is mainly determined by effective nucleon number and center-of-mass energy; and the distribution width being measured by the revised width in the Landau model and the sources rapidity shifts. Furthermore, we have found two empirical relations for projectile-participant and projectile-spectator (pseudo)rapidity as functions of the center-of-mass energy.

Energy dependence of the v2-scaling and the QCD phase boundary
In high-energy nuclear collisions at RHIC ( = 60–200 GeV), quark coalescence has been suggested as one of the processes for hadronization. As a result, one observes a scaling in the elliptic flow parameter v2 and hadron-type dependence (within the 2 < pT < 5 GeV/c region) in the nuclear modification parameter RAA. On the other hand, in a given collision when the center of mass energy is not sufficiently high to create partonic matter, one would not expect the scaling in the final observed v2. Hence, the scaling provides us a sensitive tool for the search for the possible phase boundary in the hot/dense matter dominated by either partonic or hadronic degrees of freedom. In this paper, we will report the results from analyzing the energy dependence of v2 for identified hadrons from Au+Au collisions. Data from transport models are used in our analysis. In this model calculation, without the partonic coalescence the scaling in v2 is absent.

On Descriptions of Particle Transverse Momentum Spectra in High Energy Collisions
The transverse momentum spectra obtained in the frame of an isotropic emission source are compared in terms of Tsallis, Boltzmann, Fermi-Dirac, and Bose-Einstein distributions and the Tsallis forms of the latter three standard distributions. It 
is obtained that, at a given set of parameters, the standard distributions show a narrower shape than their Tsallis forms which result in wide and/or multicomponent spectra with the Tsallis distribution in between. A comparison among the temperatures obtained from the distributions is made with a possible relation to the Boltzmann temperature. An example of the angular distributions of projectile fragments in nuclear collisions is given.

New results for hadronic collisions in the framework of the Parton-Based Gribov-Regge Theory
Abstract We recently proposed a new approach to high energy nuclear scattering, which treats hadronic collisions in a sophisticated way. Demanding theoretical consistency as a minimal requirement for a realistic model, we provide a solution for the energy conservation, screening problems and identical elementary interactions, the so-called “Parton-Based Gribov-Regge Theory” including enhanced diagrams. We can now present some of our results for SPS and RHIC energies.
