Nuclear attenuation of high energy multi-hadron systems in the string model

TL;DR

This paper investigates how high-energy multi-hadron systems are attenuated in nuclear matter using an improved string model, providing predictions for multiplicity ratios in electroproduction experiments.

Contribution

It applies an enhanced two-scale string model to calculate and compare the nuclear attenuation of multi-hadron systems, extending previous single-hadron analyses.

Findings

Model successfully predicts multiplicity ratios for multi-hadron systems

Comparison reveals differences in attenuation features among one-, two-, and three-hadron systems

Predictions align with available experimental data

Abstract

Nuclear attenuation of the multi-hadron systems in the string model is considered. The improved two-scale model with set of parameters obtained recently for the single hadron attenuation is used for calculation of the multiplicity ratios of the one-, two- and three-hadron systems electroproduced on nuclear and deuterium targets. The comparison of the features of the one-, two- and three-hadron systems is performed. The predictions of the model for multiplicity ratios of multi-hadron systems as functions of different convenient variables are presented.
