Verification of Z-scaling in pp Collisions at RHIC

New experimental data on inclusive spectra of identified particles produced in pp collisions at the RHIC are used to test z-scaling. Energy and multiplicity independence of the scaling function is established. The RHIC data confirm z-scaling observed at U70, ISR, SpS and Tevatron energies. The obtained results are of interest to search for new physics phenomena of particle production in high transverse momentum and high multiplicity region at RHIC, Tevatron and LHC.Comment: 6 pages, LaTeX, 12 figures, Presented at the XXXV International Symposium on Multiparticle Dynamics, Kromeriz, Czech Republic, August 9-15, 200

Generalized z-scaling in proton-proton collisions at high energies

New generalization of z-scaling in inclusive particle production is proposed. The scaling variable z is fractal measure which depends on kinematical characteristics of the underlying sub-process expressed in terms of the momentum fractions x1 and x2 of the incoming protons. In the generalized approach, the x1 and x2 are functions of the momentum fractions ya and yb of the scattered and recoil constituents carried out by the inclusive particle and recoil object, respectively. The scaling function psi(z) for charged and identified hadrons produced in proton-proton collisions is constructed. The fractal dimensions and heat capacity of the produced medium entering definition of the z are established to obtain energy, angular and multiplicity independence of the psi(z). The scheme allows unique description of data on inclusive cross sections of charged particles, pions, kaons, antiprotons and lambdas at high energies. The obtained results are of interest to use z-scaling as a tool for searching for new physics phenomena of particle production in high transverse momentum and high multiplicity region at proton-proton colliders RHIC and LHC.Comment: 20 pages, LaTeX, 21 figures, Presented at the Workshop of European Research Group on Ultra-Relativistic Heavy Ion Physics, Dubna, Russia, March 9-14, 200

Generalized Z-Scaling for Charged Hadrons and Jets

Generalization of z-scaling observed in the inclusive high-pT charged hadron and jet production is proposed. The scaling function psi(z) describing both charged hadrons and jets produced in proton-(anti)proton collisions for various multiplicity densities and collision energies is constructed. Anomalous fractal dimensions and parameters characterizing associated medium for both classes of events are established. The basic features of the scaling established in minimum bias events are shown to be preserved up to the highest multiplicity densities measured in experiments UA1, E735, CDF and STAR. The obtained results are of interest to use z-scaling as a tool for searching for new physics phenomena of particle production in high transverse momentum and high multiplicity region at the U70, Tevatron, RHIC and LHC.Comment: 13 pages, LaTeX, 11 figures, Presented at the VIII International Workshop "Relativistic Nuclear Physics: From MeV to TeV", Dubna, Russia, May 23 - 28, 200
