Abstract

On the basis of the Grand Combinational Model (GCM) outlined and somewhat detailed in the text, we have attempted to capture here the several interesting assorted characteristics of the rapidity-spectra of the major varieties of secondaries produced in diverse nuclear reactions at various energies, though the main thrust of our work lies on addressing the data-trends from RHIC-BNL experiments. Obviously the core of the present approach is purely phenomenological. Still, the method and the model address the features of the data modestly well. And the method appears to have the rich potentiality, if the systematic sets of data for rapidity-studies at gradually increasing energies were available.
