Analyzing the Correlation Between Thermal and Kinematic Parameters in Various Multiplicity Classes within 7 and 13 TeV pp Collisions

Abstract

We investigate the transverse momentum spectra of identified particles at 7 TeV and 13 TeV in pp collisions in the framework of the blast wave model with Tsallis statistics (TBW). Based on experimental data by ALICE Collaboration, we observe that the model describes the $p_T$ spectra well with the common Tsallis temperature (T) and flow velocity (β_T) but separate non-extensive parameters (q) for baryons and mesons. The parameter dependence on multiplicity as well as on collision energy is investigated, and a strong dependence on the former while a weak dependence on the latter is reported. The extracted parameters in this work consist of the initial temperature (T_i), the average transverse momentum ( ), the T, β_T, and the q. These parameters are found to increase a little with increasing energy, however, they (except the parameter q) decrease significantly with decreasing multiplicity. We observe that $β_T$ drops to zero after the multiplicity class VII, while, $T$ and $q$ do not change their behavior. Furthermore, our analysis explore the correlations among different parameters, including associations with the charged particle multiplicity per unit pseudorapidity (dN_{ch}/dη). The correlation between T and beta_T, T and dN_{ch}/dη, β_T and dN_{ch}/dη, T_i and and T_i and dN_{ch}/dηdemonstrates a positive relationship, while, the correlation between T and q-1, and q-1 and dN_{ch}/dηis negative. Finally, we implement an extra flow correction on the T parameter. Our findings reveal that the Doppler-corrected temperature parameter aligns closely with the T in scenarios with lower multiplicities. However, as the multiplicity increases, a noticeable divergence emerges between these parameters, indicating a widening separation between them.

Covariant reggeization framework for diffraction. Part I: Hadronic tensors in Minkovsky space-time of any dimension

In this paper we consider the general structure of irreducible tensor representations of the Poincaré group of arbitrary space-time dimension $D$ with multiple sets of Lorentz indices and different ways to construct them from basic elements (Lorentz vectors and the metric tensor). Then we apply the same methods to obtain the expansion of general hadronic tensors in terms of these irreducible tensors. We propose to use an effective approach in hadronic diffraction, which was usually called covariant reggeization, and obtain basic functions and tensors to calculate all the diffractive cross-sections.

Extraction of the pion-nucleon coupling constant using the effective-range expansion with the left-hand cut

We apply the generalized effective-range expansion of Phys. Rev. Lett. 135, 011903(2025), which incorporates the left-hand cut from one-pion exchange, to low-energy neutron-proton scattering in the $^1S_0$ and $^3S_1$ channels. The amplitude zero for the center-of-mass momentum near 0.35 GeV in the $^1S_0$ channel is naturally accommodated within this framework. We extract the pole position, scattering length, effective range, and the pseudoscalar pion-nucleon coupling constant $g_{πN}^2/(4π)$ at different expansion orders. The low-energy parameters are stable and consistent with established values, while $g_{πN}^2/(4π)$ exhibits larger uncertainties. The extraction of $g_{πN}^2/(4π)$ is data-driven, relying on the analytic constraints from the left-hand cut and phase-shift data within the one-pion-exchange approximation. Despite larger uncertainties compared to high-precision extractions, the consistency with established values demonstrates that this framework can probe the left-hand-cut singularity.

Sexaquarks and $H$ dibaryons in the $uuddss$ system: a comparison within a constituent quark model

We study the $uuddss$ multiquark within a constituent quark model framework, solving the corresponding nonrelativistic Schrodinger equation by means of a diffusion Monte Carlo (DMC) method. The total wavefunction is written as the product of a radial component and an exact spin-color-flavor state, restricted to isospin $I$=0. For this isospin, all allowed flavor wave functions are included. We explore two distinct constructions of the six-quark system. In the first one, corresponding to a sexaquark, all six quarks are treated as indistinguishable and the wave function is fully antisymmetric with respect to the exchange of any two quarks. In the second one, corresponding to the $H$ dibaryon, the system is partitioned into two sets of three quarks, effectively mimicking a baryon-baryon-like configuration including hidden color terms in which antisymmetry is imposed only within each three-quark cluster. Only when the system is forced into a baryon-baryon-like configuration, and for certain values of the spin, color and flavor quantum numbers, do we obtain states with masses close to, but above, the two-baryon threshold. Those states are characterized by two loosely bound three-quark clusters separated from one another by a distance of $\sim$ 2.5 fm. The remaining structures are compact objects irrespectively of their internal wavefunction.
