By using the revised Landau hydrodynamic model and taking into account the effect of leading particles, we discuss the pseudorapidity distributions of produced charged particles in high energy heavy-ion collisions. The charged particles resulted from the freeze-out of the matter produced in collisions possess the Gaussian-like rapidity distributions. The leading particles are assumed having the rapidity distributions of the Gaussian form with the normalization constant being equal to the number of participants, which can be figured out in theory. It is found that the results from the revised Landau hydrodynamic model together with the contributions from leading particles are well consistent with the experimental data carried out by BNL-RHIC-PHOBOS Collaboration in different centrality Au + Au collisions at energies of [Formula: see text], 130 and 62.4 GeV , respectively.

The characteristics of the interactions of 4.5 A GeV/c 28 Si nuclei with emulsion have been investigated. The method of separating interactions into those with hydrogen, light and heavy target nuclei has been discussed. The multiplicity distribution, average multiplicities, multiplicity correlation and the angular distributions of the secondary particles emitted in 28 Si -emulsion are calculated according to the Modified Fritiof Model and compared with the experimental data and with other available data for p, 12 C , 24 Mg at the same energy. It has been found that the modified Fritiof model can describe the multiplicity characteristics of the different emitted particles in the above-mentioned interaction with different target groups. The comparison of the experimental data with the modified Fritiof model shows no clear preference for the case of the light target while it seems to be nearer to the experimental data in the case of the heavy target and the emulsion

AbstractWith the exceptions of Synchrotron Radiation sources, beams of accelerated particles are generally designed to interact either with one another (in the case of colliders) or with a specific target (for the operation of Fixed Target experiments, the production of secondary beams and for medical applications). However, in addition to the desired interactions there are unwanted interactions of the high energy particles which can produce undesirable side effects. These interactions can arise from the unavoidable presence of residual gas in the accelerator vacuum chamber, or from the impact of particles lost from the beam on aperture limits around the accelerator, as well as the final beam dump. The wanted collisions of the beams in a collider to produce potentially interesting High Energy Physics events also reduces the density of the circulating beam and can produce high fluxes of secondary particles.

The model HDPM of CORSIKA has been updated and developed on the base of the recent measurements by ALICE, CMS, TOTEM, LHCb, LHCf... The new model, GHOST, involving a four-source production reproduces correctly the pseudo-rapidity distributions of charged secondaries and has been tested with the data in the mid and forward rapidity region, especially in the complex case of TOTEM, and also with the recent measurements of CMS, up to $ \sqrt s = 13\,{\rm{TeV}} $ (9.0 1016 eV in laboratory system). Special calculations have been devoted to the semi-inclusive data playing an important role in the cosmic ray simulation (fluctuations in earliest collisions, individual cascades measured at high altitude with high energy emulsion chambers). Taking into account the violation of KNO scaling, the negative binomial distribution (NegBin-expressed in terms of scaled elements) $ z = {n \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {n {\bar {n}}}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {\bar {n}}} $ (n is the number of charged secondaries) has been used pointing out a possible asymptotic behaviour of total charged multiplicities at primary energies exceeding 40 TeV (8.5 1017 eV). Thus, larger reduction of the energies devoted to the leading cluster and very large multiplicity of secondary particles could suggest for EAS generated by primary protons a larger production of muons and a shower maximum at higher altitude.

A continuous wavelet analysis is performed for pattern recognition of charged particle emission data in28Si-Ag/Br interaction at 14.5A GeV and in32S-Ag/Br interaction at 200A GeV. Making use of the event-wise local maxima present in the scalograms, we try to identify the collective behavior in multiparticle production, if there is any. For the first time, the wavelet results are compared with a model prediction based on the ultrarelativistic quantum molecular dynamics (UrQMD), where we adopt a charge reassignment algorithm to modify the UrQMD events to mimic the Bose-Einstein type of correlation among identical mesons—a feature known to be the most dominating factor responsible for local cluster formation. Statistically significant deviations between the experiment and the simulation are interpreted in terms of nontrivial dynamics of multiparticle production.

The physics of Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays will be reviewed, discussing the latest experimental results and theoretical models aiming at explaining the observations in terms of spectra, mass composition and possible sources. It will be also discussed the emission of secondary particles such as neutrinos and gamma rays produced by the interaction of Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays with astrophysical photon backgrounds. The content of the present proceeding paper is mainly based on the review papers [1, 2].

In heavy ion collisions, charged particles come from two parts: the hot and dense matter and the leading particles. In this paper, the hot and dense matter is assumed to expand according to the hydrodynamic model including phase transition and decouples into particles via the prescription of Cooper-Frye. The leading particles are as usual supposed to have Gaussian rapidity distributions with the number equaling that of participants. The investigations of this paper show that, unlike low energy situations, the leading particles are essential in describing the pseudorapidity distributions of charged particles produced in high energy heavy ion collisions. This might be due to the different transparencies of nuclei at different energies.
