Stopping Power from SPS to LHC energies

TL;DR

This paper analyzes how hadron production and stopping power vary with energy in high-energy collisions, comparing model predictions to experimental data from RHIC and discussing future LHC results.

Contribution

It provides a detailed energy-dependent study of stopping power and hadron production using the HIJING/BBbar v2.0 model, including predictions for LHC energies.

Findings

Model agrees with RHIC data on pseudorapidity spectra.

Predictions indicate increased stopping power at LHC energies.

Transverse momentum distributions are consistent with experimental observations.

Abstract

We investigate the energy dependence of hadron production and of stopping power based on HIJING/BBbar v2.0 model calculations. Pseudorapidity spectra and transverse momentum distributions for produced charged particles as well as net baryons (per pair of partcipants) and their rapidity loss are compared to data at RHIC and predictions for LHC energies are discussed.
