Pion, Kaon and Antiproton Production in $Pb+Pb$ Collisions at LHC Energy $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 2.76 TeV : A Model-based Analysis

Abstract

Large Hadron Collider (LHC) had produced a vast amount of high precision data for high energy heavy ion collision. We attempt here to study (i) transverse momenta spectra, (ii) $K/\pi$, $p/\pi$ ratio behaviours, (iii)rapidity distribution, and (iv) the nuclear modification factors of the pion, kaon and antiproton produced in $p+p$ and $Pb+Pb$ collisions at energy $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 2.76 TeV, on the basis of Sequential Chain Model (SCM). Comparisons of the model-based results with the measured data on these observables are generally found to be modestly satisfactory.
