Analyses of multiplicity distributions and Bose-Einstein correlations at the LHC by means of generalized Glauber-Lachs formula
Using the negative binomial distribution (NBD) and the generalized Glauber-Lachs (GGL) formula, we analyze the data on charged multiplicity distributions in the several pseudorapidity intervals |η| < η_c at 0.2 - 7 TeV by UA5 and ALICE Collaborations. We confirm that the KNO scaling holds among the multiplicity distributions with η_c = 0.5 at \sqrt{s} = 0.2 - 2.36 TeV and estimate the energy dependence of a parameter 1/k in NBD and parameters 1/k and γ(the ratio of the average value of the coherent hadrons to that of the chaotic hadrons) in the GGL formula. Using empirical formulae for the parameters 1/k and γin the GGL formula, we predict the multiplicity distributions with η_c = 0.5 at 7 and 14 TeV. Data on the second order Bose-Einstein correlations (BEC) at 0.9 and 2.36 TeV by ALICE and CMS Collaborations are also analyzed based on the GGL formula. Predictions for the third order BEC at 0.9 and 2.36 TeV are presented.
