Propagation of cosmic rays through the atmosphere in the quark-gluon strings model
The quark-gluon strings model succeeds in the description of multiple hadron production in the central rapidity region of nucleon-nucleon interctions. This model was developed for hadron-nucleus interactions and used for calculation of the cosmic ray propagation through the atmosphere. It is shown that at energies 10 to the 11th power to the 12th power eV, this model gives a satisfactory description of experimental data. But with the increase of the energy up to approximately 10 to the 14th power eV, results of calculations and of experiments begin to differ and this difference rises with the energy. It may indicate that the scaling violation in the fragmentation region of inclusive spectra for hadron-nucleus interactions is stronger than in the quark-gluon strings model
Scaling violation in hadron-nucleus interaction
The scaling violation within the pionization region in the energy range of 0.2 to 2.0 TeV is shown on the basis of the analysis of angular characteristics in the interactions of the cosmic radiation hadrons with the nuclei of various substances (CH2, Al, Cu, Pb)
Elastic pp Scattering at LHC Energies
We consider the first LHC data for elastic pp scattering in the framework of
Regge theory with multiple Pomeron exchanges. The simplest eikonal approach
allows one to describe differential elastic cross sections at LHC, as well as
pp and scattering at lower collider energies, on a reasonable level.Comment: 11 pages, 5 figures, and 1 tabl
Inelaticity in hadron-nucleus collisions from emulsion chamber studies
The inelasticity of hadron-carbon nucleus collisions in the energy region
exceeding 100 TeV is estimated from the carbon-emulsion chamber data at Pamirs
to be . When combined with the recently presented data on
hadron-lead nucleus collisions taken at the same energy range it results in the
mass number dependence of inelasticity. The evaluated partial
inelasticity for secondary () interactions, ,
suggests that the second and higher interactions of the excited hadron inside
the nucleus proceed with only slight energy losses.Comment: LaTeX file and 5 LaTeX files with figures, 11 pages altogether.

Fluctuations in Hadronic and Nuclear Collisions
We investigate several fluctuation effects in high-energy hadronic and
nuclear collisions through the analysis of different observables. To introduce
fluctuations in the initial stage of collisions, we use the Interacting Gluon
Model (IGM) modified by the inclusion of the impact parameter. The inelasticity
and leading-particle distributions follow directly from this model. The
fluctuation effects on rapidity distributions are then studied by using
Landau's Hydrodynamic Model in one dimension. To investigate further the
effects of the multiplicity fluctuation, we use the Longitudinal Phase-Space
Model, with the multiplicity distribution calculated within the hydrodynamic
model, and the initial conditions given by the IGM. Forward-backward
correlation is obtained in this way.Comment: 22 pages, RevTex, 8 figures (included); Invited paper to the special

Leading particle effect, inelasticity and the connection between average multiplicities in {\bf } and {\bf } processes
The Regge-Mueller formalism is used to describe the inclusive spectrum of the
proton in collisions. From such a description the energy dependences of
both average inelasticity and leading proton multiplicity are calculated. These
quantities are then used to establish the connection between the average
charged particle multiplicities measured in {\bf } and {\bf } processes. The description obtained for the leading proton cross section
implies that Feynman scaling is strongly violated only at the extreme values of
, that is at the central region () and at the diffraction
region (), while it is approximately observed in the
intermediate region of the spectrum.Comment: 20 pages, 10 figures, to be published in Physical Review
Estimating the inelasticity with the information theory approach
Using the information theory approach, in both its extensive and nonextensive
versions, we estimate the inelasticity parameter of hadronic reactions
together with its distribution and energy dependence from and
data. We find that the inelasticity remains essentially constant in energy
except for a variation around , as was originally expected.Comment: 14 pages, 8 figures. Misprints correcte
