The production of π±, K±, p and p̄ in p–Pb collisions at sNN = 5.02 TeV
In this study, we are reporting comprehensive results on [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] production in the transverse momentum range of [Formula: see text] 4 GeV/c at midrapidity of [Formula: see text] 0.5 GeV/c, in p–Pb collisions at [Formula: see text] = 5.02 TeV. HIJING 1.0 and UrQMD 3.4 event generators are used to perform simulations and the results are compared with the ALICE and RHIC data. It is observed from the comparison that the yields for the baryons are more complex compared to the mesons and the complexity in baryons is due to the striping dynamics (spectators, leading particles of projectiles) of inner nucleus protons and neutrons. Though all the mesons could be produced during the interaction, they have maximum longitudinal momentum [Formula: see text]; baryons and mesons could be produced as a result of decay of massive baryon-resonances. Yields for the [Formula: see text] mesons are greater than the yield for the [Formula: see text] mesons. These are the well-known results from the RHIC data, which stated that the Cronin Effect is mainly due to [Formula: see text] mesons that can be produced as a result of multi-particle inner nucleus cascade. There exists the regions where yields for the [Formula: see text] mesons and baryons are same that may be due to the appearance of parton nature. The code used in simulation includes the parton dynamics earlier than it is included in the experiment.
