The strangeness enhancement signature of QGP formation at LHC energies is carefully tackled in the present study. Based on HRG, the particle ratios of mainly strange and multistrange particles are studied at energies from lower s ~ 0.001 up to 13 TeV. The strangeness enhancement clearly appeared at more high energies, and the ratios are confronted to the available experimental data. The particle ratios are also studied using the Cosmic Ray Monte Carlo (CRMC) interface model with its two different event generators, namely, EPOS 1.99 and EPOSlhc, which show a good agreement with the model calculations at the whole range of the energy. We utilize them to produce some particles ratios. EPOS 1.99 is used to estimate particle ratios at lower energies from AGS up to the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) while EPOSlhc is used at LHC energies. The production of kaons and lambda particles is studied in terms of the mean multiplicity in p-p collisions at energies ranging from 4 to 26 GeV. We find that both HRG model and the used event generators, EPOS 1.99 and EPOSlhc, can describe the particle ratios very well. Additionally, the freeze-out parameters are estimated for different collision systems, such as p-p and Pb-Pb, at LHC energies using both models.

An equation for parton multiplicity in cascade with the recombination 1 → 2 ⊕ 2 → 1 is derived from a Kolmogorov-Chapman equation and solved. An evolution parameter τ of the cascade depends on the c.m. energy [Formula: see text]; an explicit form of the dependence is obtained from the condition that the mean multiplicity of charged particles in pp, [Formula: see text] collisions be reproduced. A considerable decrease in the mean multiplicity in heavy-ion collisions per pair of the colliding nucleons at high energies is predicted and compared to the parton cascade with no recombination.

At the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) elliptic flow signals (v2) appear to be stronger than those measured at lower center-of-mass energies. With the beginning of heavy ion beams at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) it is important to have a reliable tool for simulating v2 at the LHC Pb – Pb center-of-mass energy of 5.5 A TeV. In this work we used the heavy ion simulation tool HYDJET to study elliptic flow at the event generator level. The generator level elliptic flow v2 for Pb – Pb collisions was two-particle and four-particle cumulants.

Strangeness Enhancement

The main aim of the relativistic heavy-ion experiment is to create extremely hot and dense matter and study the QCD phase structure. With this motivation, experimental program started in the early 1990s at the Brookhaven Alternating Gradient Synchrotron (AGS) and the CERN Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) followed by Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven and recently at Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. These experiments allowed us to study the QCD matter from center-of-mass energies (sNN) 4.75 GeV to 2.76 TeV. Theϕmeson, due to its unique properties, is considered as a good probe to study the QCD matter created in relativistic collisions. In this paper we present a review on the measurements ofϕmeson production in heavy-ion experiments. Mainly, we discuss the energy dependence ofϕmeson invariant yield and the production mechanism, strangeness enhancement, parton energy loss, and partonic collectivity in nucleus-nucleus collisions. Effect of later stage hadronic rescattering on elliptic flow (v2) of proton is also discussed relative to corresponding effect onϕmesonv2.

We develop a phenomenological equation of state for the quark–gluon plasma containing nf flavors when the entropy per baryon ratio remains continuous across the phase boundary and thus derive a generalized expression for the temperature and baryon chemical potential dependent bag constant. The phase boundaries are obtained for an isentropic quark–hadron phase transition after using Gibbs' criteria and the transition to an ideal QGP from the solution of the condition B(μ,T)=0. The variation of critical temperature Tc with nf and the temperature variation of the quantity (ε-4P)/T4 which measures the interaction present in QGP are obtained and compared with the results from lattice calculations. Finally we obtain the strange particle ratios on the two phase boundaries which will be useful in identifying deconfined and/or ideal QGP formation in the heavy-ion experiments.

Interpretation and understanding of high-energy PP data in a clear, consistent, and comprehensive manner is crucial for making valid claims to build up any successful theoretical framework for particle interactions. We have tried here to analyze the various sets of PP data available from the pre-ISR days to the latest PP collisions at the relativistic heavy ion collider (RHIC) experiment at [Formula: see text] = 200 GeV in the light of a power-law model. Both mid-rapidity and high-rapidity data sets have been dealt with by applying the same working formula. It is found that the working formula used provides a good description of these wide ranging data sets; but hardly throws any deep insights into the nature of particle interactions that force us to question the worth and rigour of phenomenological studies.PACS Nos.: 13.60.Hb, 13.60.Le, 13.85.Ni

In different approaches, the temperature-baryon density plane of QCD matter is studied for deconfinement and chemical freezeout boundaries. Results from various heavy-ion experiments are compared with the recent lattice simulations, the effective QCD-like Polyakov linear-sigma model, and the equilibrium thermal models. Along the entire freezeout boundary, there is an excellent agreement between the thermal model calculations and the experiments. Also, the thermal model calculations agree well with the estimations deduced from the Polyakov linear-sigma model (PLSM). At low baryonic density or high energies, both deconfinement and chemical freezeout boundaries are likely coincident, and therefore, the agreement with the lattice simulations becomes excellent as well, while at large baryonic density, the two boundaries become distinguishable forming a phase where hadrons and quark-gluon plasma likely coexist.

The fragmentation parameters and interaction mean free paths for VH- and H-type cosmic-ray nuclei have been measured as functions of energy in nuclear emulsions. It is found that they are essentially independent of energy over the range from 100 MeV/n to 30 GeV/n. The mean free paths of the secondary nuclei produced in observed interactions also have been measured. With two major exceptions, the values of the mean free paths are found to be consistent with an overlap model for nuclear interactions. The value obtained for the secondary L-type nuclei appears to be significantly shorter than that expected from the model calculations, while that for the primary VH nuclei appears to be significantly longer.

We review a subset of experimental results from the heavy-ion collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) facility at CERN. Excellent consistency is observed across all the experiments at the LHC (at center of mass energysNN=2.76 TeV) for the measurements such as charged particle multiplicity density, azimuthal anisotropy coefficients, and nuclear modification factor of charged hadrons. Comparison to similar measurements from the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at lower energy (sNN=200 GeV) suggests that the system formed at LHC has a higher energy density and larger system size and lives for a longer time. These measurements are compared to model calculations to obtain physical insights on the properties of matter created at the RHIC and LHC.

Our focus in this work would be concentrated on trying to understand the nature of some very important observables measured for deuteron–gold (d + Au) collisions at relativistic heavy ion collider (RHIC) energies in the light of a particular phenomenological model that we had applied earlier in analyzing data for PP collisions at RHIC and Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (FNAL) energies with a fair degree of success. In this particular case, as well, our observations and conclusions are exactly similar to those in our previous work. The emphatic ending points, on the whole, to some gross limitations of the chosen phenomenological approach in particular and of the phenomenology as such in general.PACS Nos.: 13.60.Hb, 13.60.Le, 13.60.Rj, 13.85.Ni

The antideuteron and antihelium-3 production rates in high-energy heavy-ion collisions are calculated in the framework of fusion mechanism. It is supposed that [Formula: see text] participating in the fusion are moving in the mean field of other fireball constituents. It is demonstrated that at high energies, where many pions are present in the fireball, the number of produced [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] is determined by the balance between created and disintegrated (mainly in collisions with pions) [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. The explicit formulae for coalescence parameters are presented and compared with the data.
