Abstract

The concept of the "wounded" hadronic constituents is formulated. Preliminary estimates indicate that it may help to understand the transverse mass dependence of the particle production in hadron-nucleus and nucleusnucleus collisions.

Multidimensional study of hadronization in nuclei

“…The wealth of theoretical model calculations and studies [18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35] reflect the strong interest of the community in hadron-multiplicities on nuclei, as they provide information on the space (time) structure of the hadronization process. It is beyond the scope of this paper to compare the results of the various models with the data.…”

Multiparticle long-range rapidity correlations from fluctuation of the fireball longitudinal shape

“…[3] we expanded the distribution (1.1) in the Chebyshev polynomials but other choices are certainly possible. 2 In the wounded-nucleon model [17,18] and for symmetric A + A collisions, a 1 corresponds to the difference between left-and rightgoing wounded nucleons, a 1 ∝ w L − w R .…”

Four remarks on multiparticle correlations

“…One sees that this commonly used approximation must be treated with a great caution. Some improvements can of course be devised [4]. It is also well known since the works of Giovannini, Van Hove and Ekspong [5], that the negative binomial distribution can be also understood as an independent emission of "clans", decaying with the probability dstribution…”

“…In the second class, like the wounded nucleon model [11], particles are produced by quasiindependent emisssion from the two colliding objects. In this case particles in the central region come from two sources, this time naturally asymmetric ones [12,13,14]. There is of course also a third class which combines the two pictures, a typical example being the dual-parton model [15].…”
