Disentangling Soft and Hard Hadron Yields in PbPb Collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 2.76 ATeV

We demonstrate that charged pion spectra in central and peripheral PbPb collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 2.76 ATeV obtained via perturbative quantum chromodynamics improved parton model calculations [17] can be approximated by the Tsallis distribution for transverse momenta $p_T \geq$ 4 GeV/c. Then, we propose a model in which, hadrons produced in heavy-ion collisions stem either from "soft" or "hard" processes, and are distributed according to the Tsallis distribution in both types of yields. We describe transverse spectra as well as azimuthal anisotropy ($v_2$) of charged hadrons stemming from various centrality PbPb collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 2.76 ATeV [40,41,42] analytically. In addition, we find that the anisotropy decreases for more central collisions.

Pion Production Via Resonance Decay in a Non-extensive Quark-Gluon Medium with Non-additive Energy Composition Rule

Resonance production and decay into pion pairs is simulated in a non-extensive quark matter with multi-particle interactions. Final state pion spectra are found to take the form of the Tsallis distribution, in accordance with measurements. It has also been shown that, if a large number of particles with these multi-particle interactions are constrained to a constant energy hyper-surface in phase space, the one-particle distribution is the Tsallis distribution.

Relativistic light-on-heavy nuclear collisions and the implied rapidity asymmetry

We calculate pseudorapidity ($η$) asymmetry in $pA$ and $dA$ collisions in a pQCD-improved parton model. With the calculations tuned to describe existing spectra from $pp$ collisions and asymmetric systems at midrapidity and large rapidities at FNAL and RHIC energies, we investigate the roles of nuclear shadowing and multiple scattering on the observed asymmetry. Using this framework, we make predictions for pseudorapidity asymmetries at high $p_T$ and large $η$ in a wide range of energies up to LHC.
