Production of Secondaries in High Energy d+Au Collisions
In the framework of Quark-Gluon String Model we calculate the inclusive
spectra of secondaries produced in d+Au collisions at intermediate (CERN SPS)
and at much higher (RHIC) energies. The results of numerical calculations at
intermediate energies are in reasonable agreement with the data. At RHIC
energies numerically large inelastic screening corrections (percolation
effects) should be accounted for in calculations. We extract these effects from
the existing RHIC experimental data on minimum bias and central d+Au
collisions. The predictions for p+Au interactions at LHC energy are also given.Comment: 18 pages and 10 figure
Tetraquarks and Pentaquarks in String Models
We consider the production and decay of multiquark systems in the framework
of string models where the hadron structure is determined by valence quarks
together with string junctions. We show that the low mass multiquark resonances
can be very narrow.Comment: 7 pages, 2 figure
Production of secondaries in soft p+pb collisions at LHC
We calculate the inclusive spectra of secondaries produced in soft (minimum
bias) p+Pb collisions in the framework of Quark-Gluon String Model at LHC
energy, and by taking into account the inelastic screening corrections
(percolation effects). The role of these effects is expected to be very large
at very high energies, and they should decrease the spectra about 3 times in
the midrapidity region and increase them about 2 times in the fragmentation
region at the energy of LHC.Comment: 18 pages and 10 figures. arXiv admin note: text overlap with

Measurement of the Lambda(b) cross section and the anti-Lambda(b) to Lambda(b) ratio with Lambda(b) to J/Psi Lambda decays in pp collisions at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV
The Lambda(b) differential production cross section and the cross section
ratio anti-Lambda(b)/Lambda(b) are measured as functions of transverse momentum
pt(Lambda(b)) and rapidity abs(y(Lambda(b))) in pp collisions at sqrt(s) = 7
TeV using data collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC. The measurements are
based on Lambda(b) decays reconstructed in the exclusive final state J/Psi
Lambda, with the subsequent decays J/Psi to an opposite-sign muon pair and
Lambda to proton pion, using a data sample corresponding to an integrated
luminosity of 1.9 inverse femtobarns. The product of the cross section times
the branching ratio for Lambda(b) to J/Psi Lambda versus pt(Lambda(b)) falls
faster than that of b mesons. The measured value of the cross section times the
branching ratio for pt(Lambda(b)) > 10 GeV and abs(y(Lambda(b))) < 2.0 is 1.06
+/- 0.06 +/- 0.12 nb, and the integrated cross section ratio for
anti-Lambda(b)/Lambda(b) is 1.02 +/- 0.07 +/- 0.09, where the uncertainties are
statistical and systematic, respectively.Comment: Submitted to Physics Letters
Inclusive production of protons, anti-protons and neutrons in p+p collisions at 158 GeV/c beam momentum
New data on the production of protons, anti-protons and neutrons in p+p
interactions are presented. The data come from a sample of 4.8 million
inelastic events obtained with the NA49 detector at the CERN SPS at 158 GeV/c
beam momentum. The charged baryons are identified by energy loss measurement in
a large TPC tracking system. Neutrons are detected in a forward hadronic
calorimeter. Inclusive invariant cross sections are obtained in intervals from
0 to 1.9 GeV/c (0 to 1.5 GeV/c) in transverse momentum and from -0.05 to 0.95
(-0.05 to 0.4) in Feynman x for protons (anti-protons), respectively. pT
integrated neutron cross sections are given in the interval from 0.1 to 0.9 in
Feynman x. The data are compared to a wide sample of existing results in the
SPS and ISR energy ranges as well as to proton and neutron measurements from
HERA and RHIC.Comment: 69 pages, 72 figure
Measurement of prompt hadron production ratios in collisions at 0.9 and 7 TeV
The charged-particle production ratios , , ,
, and are measured with the LHCb detector using of collisions delivered by the LHC at TeV and
at TeV. The measurements are performed as a
function of transverse momentum and pseudorapidity . The
production ratios are compared to the predictions of several Monte Carlo
generator settings, none of which are able to describe adequately all
observables. The ratio is also considered as a function of rapidity
loss, , and is used to constrain models of
baryon transport.Comment: Incorrect entries in Table 2 corrected. No consequences for rest of
