Phenomenological Implications of the Spectra of and produced at LHC and RHIC
Rudolph C. Hwa🇺🇸 · Lilin Zhu🇨🇳
The data on the spectra of and at LHC can be presented in a format that shows exponential behavior up to GeV/c with the same slope for both particles and for nearly all centralities. They are empirical properties that are shared at lower energies with the inverse slope showing a power-law dependence on . The shared properties of the spectra are shown to emerge naturally from the recombination model. No flow is needed. We find experimental hints for the possibility that and are mostly produced in the ridge that are generated by minijets. Appropriate experimental test is suggested.
