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.

Chemical Potentials of Quarks Extracted from Particle Transverse Momentum Distributions in Heavy Ion Collisions at RHIC Energies
In the framework of a multisource thermal model, the transverse momentum distributions of charged particles produced in nucleus-nucleus (A-A) and deuteron-nucleus (d-A) collisions at relativistic heavy ion collider (RHIC) energies are investigated by a two-component revised Boltzmann distribution. The calculated results are in agreement with the PHENIX experimental data. It is found that the source temperature increases obviously with increase of the particle mass and incident energy, but it does not show an obvious change with the collision centrality. Then, the values of chemical potentials for up, down, and strange quarks can be obtained from the antiparticle to particle yield ratios in a wide transverse momentum range. The relationship between the chemical potentials of quarks and the transverse momentum with different centralities is investigated, too.

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.

Transverse Momentum and Pseudorapidity Distributions of Charged Particles and Spatial Shapes of Interacting Events in Pb-Pb Collisions at 2.76 TeV
The transverse momentum and pseudorapidity distributions of charged
particles produced in Pb-Pb collisions with different centrality intervals at center-of-mass
energy per nucleon pair  TeV have been analyzed by using the improved
multisource thermal model in which the whole interacting system and then the sources
are described by the Tsallis statistics. The modelling results are in agreement with experimental data of the ALICE Collaboration. The rapidity distributions of charged particles are obtained according to the extracted parameter values. The shapes of interacting
events (the dispersion plots of charged particles) are given in the momentum, rapidity,
velocity, and coordinate spaces. Meanwhile, the event shapes in different spaces consisted
by different transverse quantities and longitudinal quantities are presented.

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.

Production of negatives and protons in nucleus-nucleus collisions at AGS and SPS energies
We study systematically the negative and proton rapidity distributions in nucleus-nucleus collisions at the AGS and SPS energies within the thermalized cylinder model and the three-fireball model. The calculated results are compared with the available experimental data. It is shown that the calculated negative rapidity distributions by the two models are very similar, if not equal. The structure of rapidity distribution for protons is more complex than that for negatives. The thermalized cylinder model is better than the three-fireball model in description of proton rapidity distribution. The thermalized cylinder model is successful at the AGS and SPS energies. The three-fireball model is successful at the AGS energy and partly successful at the SPS energy.

Investigation of shower particle pseudorapidity in high-energy neutrino-emulsion collisions
Abstract The pseudorapidity distribution of shower particles produced in high-energy neutrino-emulsion collisions is investigated. A slight dependence of the midpseudorapidity on multiplicity and a fluctuation in pseudorapidity distribution are observed. The cumulative pseudorapidity distribution and the pseudorapidity gap distribution are studied. A two-cylinder model is used in analyzes of the experimental data. To give a further test for the two-cylinder model, the calculated results are compared with the experimental data of e + e - annihilation at high energy. It is shown that the calculated results are in agreement with the experimental data.

omega phi STATES IN CHIRAL QUARK MODEL
The omega phi states with spin S = 0, 1 and 2 are dynamically studied in a chiral SU(3) quark model by solving the resonating group method (RCM) equation. It is found that the interactions of omega phi systems are attractive, while no omega phi bound state or resonance state is obtained due to the insufficiency of the strength of omega phi attractions.
