Abstract The production rates and the transverse momentum distribution of strange hadrons at mid-rapidity ($$\left| y\right| < 0.5$$y<0.5) are measured in proton-proton collisions at $$\sqrt{s}$$s = 13 TeV as a function of the charged particle multiplicity, using the ALICE detector at the LHC. The production rates of $$\mathrm{K}^{0}_{S}$$KS0, $$\Lambda $$Λ, $$\Xi $$Ξ, and $$\Omega $$Ω increase with the multiplicity faster than what is reported for inclusive charged particles. The increase is found to be more pronounced for hadrons with a larger strangeness content. Possible auto-correlations between the charged particles and the strange hadrons are evaluated by measuring the event-activity with charged particle multiplicity estimators covering different pseudorapidity regions. When comparing to lower energy results, the yields of strange hadrons are found to depend only on the mid-rapidity charged particle multiplicity. Several features of the data are reproduced qualitatively by general purpose QCD Monte Carlo models that take into account the effect of densely-packed QCD strings in high multiplicity collisions. However, none of the tested models reproduce the data quantitatively. This work corroborates and extends the ALICE findings on strangeness production in proton-proton collisions at 7 TeV.

An experimental study is carried out on the effects of nuclear mass on leading particle multiplicity and multiparticle production with the help of an emulsion stack exposed to 50 GeV/c π− beam under a strong pulsed magnetic field. The study of the effect of nuclear mass on the forward–backward asymmetry in a π−–A collision is also carried out using the grey particle multiplicity data. The results support the concept of "formation length" of radiation. An attempt is made to explain the space–time structure of hadronic matter in terms of the additive quark model of multiparticle production.
