Proton rapidity distribution in nucleus nucleus collisions at high energy
The proton rapidity distributions in nucleus-nucleus collisions at the Alternating Gradient Synchrotron (AGS) and the Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) energies are analyzed by the revised thermalized cylinder model. The calculated results are compared and found to be in agreement with the experimental data of Si-Al and Si-Pb collisions at 14.6 AGeV/c, Pb-Pb collisions at 158 AGeV/c, and S-S collisions at 200 AGeV/c.

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.

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.

Unified description of multiplicity distributions of final-state particles produced in collisions at high energies
Abstract The paper presents a modelling description to multiplicity distributions of final-state particles measured in different collision systems at different center-of-mass energies. As examples distributions of charged particles (hadrons) measured in e + e − , pp, p p ¯ , and e + p collisions are presented and good agreement between the calculation and the data is found. Meanwhile, distributions of final-state particles produced in proton and heavy ion induced nuclear collisions are included in the framework of the unified description. The basis of the calculations is a weight sum of different Erlang distributions. The model assumption is that many sources of emitted particles are formed in collisions. Each source contributes multiplicity distribution like a radioactive object.

Multi-component Erlang distribution of final-state particles produced in high energy collisions
A unified formula on multiplicity distributions of final-state particles is studied in this paper to describe a variety of experimental data including multiplicity, mass, transverse mass, excitation energy, transverse energy, and transverse momentum distributions. It is assumed that the sources of final-state particles are subjected to the multi-source thermal model and the contributions of sources meet the Erlang distribution. Further the validity of the unified formula in descriptions of different distributions is tested. Experimental data of proton-antiproton $$(p\overline{p}),$$ positron–proton (e+p), electron-proton (e−p), and nucleus-nucleus (AA) collisions are analyzed and found that the distributions of mentioned quantities can be described by the multi-component Erlang distribution.

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.

On transverse momentum event–by–event fluctuations in string hadronic models
Abstract. Transverse momentum event–by–event fluctuations are studied within the string–hadronic model of high energy nuclear collisions, LUCIAE. Data on non–statistical $p_T$ fluctuations in p+p interactions are reproduced. Fluctuations of similar magnitude are predicted for nucleus–nucleus collisions, in contradiction to the preliminary NA49 results. The introduction of a string clustering mechanism (Firecracker Model) leads to a further, significant increase of $p_T$ fluctuations for nucleus–nucleus collisions. Secondary hadronic interactions, as implemented in LUCIAE, cause only a small reduction of $p_T$ fluctuations.

Transverse Momentum Distributions of Final-State Particles Produced in Soft Excitation Process in High Energy Collisions
Transverse momentum distributions of final-state particles produced in soft process in proton-proton (pp) and nucleus-nucleus (AA) collisions at Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) and Large Hadron Collider (LHC) energies are studied by using a multisource thermal model. Each source in the model is treated as a relativistic and quantum ideal gas. Because the quantum effect can be neglected in investigation on the transverse momentum distribution in high energy collisions, we consider only the relativistic effect. The concerned distribution is finally described by the Boltzmann or two-component Boltzmann distribution. Our modeling results are in agreement with available experimental data.

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.
