Experimental results on charged particle multiplicity of the interactions of 50 GeV/c negative pions with emulsion nuclei are presented. The values of [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], and D are found to be 8.35 ± 0.17, 7.11 ± 0.25, and 4.75 ± 0.08 respectively. The results of π−–emulsion interactions are compared with those of p–emulsion interactions. The dependence of the parameter RA on mass number A has been examined and compared with the existing models of hadron–nucleus interactions.

Dependence of cluster size on relativistic charged particle multiplicity is examined by analyzing experimental data involving 530 and 283 interactions with nh≥0 caused by 4.5 A and 14.5 A GeV/c28 Si –beams in nuclear emulsion. The results reveal that the maximum number of charged particles constituting a cluster is four for the collisions having ns≥10, where ns is the number of relativistic charged particles produced in interactions with relative velocity β≥0.7. However, this number is found to be three for the interactions having ns≤9. Results also show that the cluster size is essentially insensitive to the projectile energy.

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.

Proton–Proton ([Formula: see text]) collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) are simulated in order to study events with a high local density of charged particles produced in narrow pseudorapidty windows of [Formula: see text] = 0.1, 0.2, and 0.5. The [Formula: see text] collisions are generated at center of mass energies of [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text] TeV, i.e., the energies at which the LHC has operated so far, using PYTHIA and HERWIG event generators. We have also studied the average of the maximum charged-particle density versus the event multiplicity for all events, using the different pseudorapidity windows. This study prepares for the multi-particle production background expected in a future search for anomalous high-density multiplicity fluctuations using the LHC data.
